Agapanthus Black Jack RHS Plant of the year 2023. Inky black buds opening to deep purple. Sorry it is sideways you would have been suprised if I had got it the right way up!
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
Thankyou @Pitterpatter I took the photo and made a comparison, it is darker in real life! It is growing in a south facing garden a few miles away from here, so just the one photo. I did see another evergreen recently called A Poppin Purple so perhaps there will be a deciduous one too.

Agapanthus Inkspot I thought was dead after last winter, has shown absolutely no top growth, I just went to dig it out and plant something new but have found lots of intact healthy roots. Any suggestions how to proceed, should I leave it alone to see if it sends up leaves next year, any one else found this after last winter? Thanks
@RedTulip I have known this to happen andnot just last year. The next year a few leaves and then just the odd flower. It was in my old garden so not sure of it's progress. I did think it wasn't happy and would have moved it had I stayed. The only problem is best time for this job is spring, however you might be lucky now if you want to do so and are quick.
