Agapanthus BlackJack cut flower

Agapanthus BlackJack

Purple / Focal

Agapanthus BlackJack is a modern, compact, award-winning African lily grown for near-black buds that open into velvety black-purple rounded umbels. It is not a cheap bulk crop; it is a premium architectural accent for growers who want a dramatic dark summer stem that florists can recognise instantly. It should be planted from verified licensed stock, given full sun and excellent drainage, and allowed time to build mature crowns before judging productivity. In the right climate it can become a long-term bed crop with strong event value and a memorable marketing story.

Agapanthus Twister cut flower

Agapanthus Twister

White / Focal

Agapanthus ‘Twister’ is a bicolour African lily grown from fleshy rhizomatous crowns and valued as a clean, architectural summer stem. It produces rounded umbels of white funnel-shaped florets with a dark violet-blue throat, carried above strong strap-like foliage. For a flower farm it should be treated as a premium perennial crop that earns its place through wedding value, florist novelty, and long-term clump productivity rather than fast annual turnover. It needs sun, drainage, patience, and careful postharvest handling because agapanthus is ethylene sensitive and does not store for long as a dry cut stem.
