Thank you so much, our garden has been 25 years in the making, from a plot of bare earth to the videos we share today. Enjoy the evolution of your own special space, and happy spring gardening.
Black Jack has been such a fabulous performer, there is one stem still flowering in September and covered with bees, it’s definitely my current plant crush! Sending our best wishes.
This was such a joy to watch from start to finish. I t was so enjoyable that I'm going to re-watch it! Loved the aerial view at the beginning. Bet you're delighted with your new Agapanthus as they're stunning and I remember it was plant of the year at Chelsea. You have lots of wildlife in your garden and well done for capturing the blue butterfly and the bees. I try to grow plants to encourage them and I feed the birds mealworms and I really have noticed that I don't seem to have any aphids. Thank you for naming the plants as it's a big help if something catches my eye as all of your plants do! Your garden is truly beautiful.
So happy that you’re enjoying our latest tour Wendy, and thank you again for such a supportive message. Like us, the bees seem so impressed with the new agapanthus that they brave even the worst weather to keep visiting. It sounds as though your birds are perfect for aphid control!
Your garden is so beautiful and the voice over is delightful, thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for sharing. What was the lovely blue flowers that are parental in Australia but annual in UK called?
Thank you for such an appreciative comment Mary. The plant goes by many names, it is Bellflower ‘Blue Star’, seeds and plug plants are often sold as Isotoma axillaris ‘Blue Star’ and previously classed as Laurentia axillaris ‘Blue Star’, part of the Campanulaceae family.
Hi,what a beautiful garden,your colour combinations are lovely. I'm going try to grow some of the plants you have grown in your pots,you have so many. Aggapanthus Black Jack is on my list for this year,have you planted it in smaller pots within the large pot or is it straight in the large pot. Also i love the shape of the pot you have Black Jack in,where did you get it from or do you know whats its called please ?. Thanks
Hi Sue, thank you for your lovely message, enthusiasm and enquiry. The two ‘Black Jack’ agapanthus were placed side-by-side in their original plastic pots positioned within a larger plastic pot of compost set within the splendid big terracotta pot. We removed the agapanthus in the autumn, carefully preserving all the roots that had grown through the drainage holes of the original containers over the summer, and (as it was relatively mild) potted them on into larger sized plastic pots to place individually inside terracotta pots next year (over-wintering them under cover). The cretan terracotta pot actually came from France some time ago, but I’ve had a little browse of cretan pot suppliers online and the Pots & Pithoi website offer a very similar design with the ‘Kioupi’ style, so please find the link below if of interest. Hope you find the perfect pot and that ‘Black Jack’ brings you so much pleasure this summer. potsandpithoi.com/3/Pots
Hi, thankyou so much for taking the time to reply and search out the similar pot for me. I am loving your channel and looking forward to see which plants you are growing for 2024. Sue.
So happy you are enjoying the planting combos, and the yellow spires are lovely Yellow Loosestrife (Lysimachia punctata), very easy to grow and low maintenance but it will spread.
The challenge with seed-growing is that agapanthus cultivars often do not grow true from seed but seem to revert to original species traits. To check whether this applies to ‘Black Jack’ you might wish to contact the plant’s breeders Andy de Wet & Quinton Bean cndnursery.co.za/the-plant-people/ They could very probably help with international supplier and shipping enquiries too, depending on your global location. We understand that in some territories, this plant will be sold as ‘Midnight Hour’ (not to be confused with the other agapanthus cultivars ‘Midnight Star’ and ‘Midnight Blue’). Hope this info helps, and best wishes.

Hello! What is that yellow tall spike of a flower (bell flower?) behind the pink salvia? thank you! gorgeous combos
