Agapanthus 'Black Pantha'

Agapanthus 'Black Pantha' Details

“Black Pantha” is a variety of Agapanthus selected for its stunning flowers. This herbaceous perennial produces beautiful, dark-blue flowers from near black buds throughout summer.  The petals have an interesting darker band that gives the flowers a two-toned appearance. The flowers are borne on slender stems that rise above the dark green foliage. It grows compactly to about 50 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of cool climates, moderate frost, dry periods, some wind, and a wide range of soil conditions except extreme wet or dry. “Black Pantha” is commonly used in borders and mixed plantings, mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, used in cottage gardens, or simply maintained in a container. The most stunning displays with this plant are achieved when it is planted en masse.
