Description
Agapanthus inapertus 'Black Magic' is a fascinating new variety offering one of the darkest flowerings, if not the darkest. Black buds open into nearly black, deep indigo blue bell-shaped flowers, on large umbels reaching 80cm (32in) above the ground. This deciduous variety is moderately hardy, down to -10°C (14°F), and should never lack water during its growth period. A troubling and dark flower, created to bring out contrasts and enhance white blooms, in borders, in pots, or planted in small groups near high-traffic areas.
Agapanthus inapertus subsp. pendulus 'Black Magic' belongs to the lily family, it is a hybrid variety. This bulbous plant thrives in meadows that experience summer rainfall. From spring, a wide clump of linear, light green foliage develops, reaching about 50cm (20in) in height and can spread up to 60cm (24in). The spherical umbels of 30 to 40 flowers rise above, carried by longer stems. The flowering occurs between July and September depending on the region. The long pendulous trumpets, silky and very graphic, that seem reluctant to open, are almost black and stand upright as buds, then they bend towards the ground, opening into a very dark indigo blue.
This deciduous variety is moderately hardy; it should be planted either in a pot to be overwintered and placed on a sunny terrace in summer, or in the ground, in a warm and well-drained soil. It is a plant that thrives by the seaside, in an English cottage, and even in a contemporary city garden. Its almost black colour creates magnificent contrasts with the white flowers of Gauras, Camassias, Lavateras, or Cleomes. Cut and placed in a vase, the flowers will bring a lot of originality to the house.

Planting and care
The 'Black Magic' Agapanthus is grown in full sun in a warm location, in a protected and south-facing area. It withstands drought well, except during its growth period, when you will water it twice a week. Do not water it during the plant's dormancy in winter, as Agapanthus fears excess humidity and does not like waterlogged soils during this period. Plant it in a soil that is rich and moist but especially well-drained, planting it 30cm (12in) deep in a pot with leaf soil and compost. Once established in the ground, do not disturb Agapanthus. In winter, mulch the base with a layer of dead leaves about 20cm (8in) thick and cover them with a wire mesh to prevent wind damage. Snow is also a very good protection against excess humidity and cold. If in a pot, bring the plant indoors. Remove faded leaves in autumn. Cut off the faded stems so that the plant does not exhaust itself producing seeds.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
