Agapanthus Black Pantha

Common Name: Black Pantha Agapanthus

Description: Agapanthus 'Black Pantha' is a semi-evergreen perennial renowned for its striking deep blue-black, trumpet-shaped flowers that emerge from almost black buds during the summer months. The blooms form large, spherical clusters up to 20 centimeters across, held aloft on erect stems above clumps of arching, gray-green, strap-like leaves. This cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it well-suited to Melbourne's climate. Once established, it exhibits moderate drought tolerance and can withstand light frosts. 'Black Pantha' is an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or container gardening, adding a dramatic flair to any landscape.
