Agapanthus BlackJack boasts big ower heads, black buds and black-purple striped blooms and it grabbed the attention of the public as well as the judges. Bred in South Africa, by de Wet Breeders, Patrick couldn’t help but notice the potential on a visit to their nursery more than 5 years ago. Fairweather’s have been evaluating the plant in Beaulieu to ensure it performs well in UK conditions since then and now anticipate sales of 80,000 plants throughout Europe in 2024. Entering it in the RHS Plant Show, it was shortlisted with 18 other varieties, including another introduction byFairweather’s –Tradescantia ‘Brainstorm’. BlackJack was entered into the competition in partnership with ompson & Morgan and Hampshire based Sparsholt College. Interviewed by the RHS Press at Chelsea, Patrick had this to say when asked - What do you think made the di erence? “This is just a complete colour break and the flowers are so dramatic. It is something that doesn’t exist at the moment. The size of the flowers and length of the flowering and it’s a complete showstopper. I am absolutely delighted”! If you would like to learn more about Agapanthus grown on Fairweather’s Nursery, along with growing tips and demos. Go along to their Agapanthus Festival which is being held in Fairweather’s Garden Centre from Saturday 22nd July to Sunday 30th July with a bookable talk with Patrick Fairweather on the 22nd July in Beaulieu Village Hall.
