In summer, flowers emerge and drape from fine, arching rod-like stems giving continuous movement above the evergreen, grassy foliage. Gentle, swishing movement is accompanied by soft and subtle sound to add an extra, sensual element to your planting – ideal for a prairie-style garden or a focal feature in the borders. The nectar-rich blooms of Dainty Dierama Collection are loved by bees and other pollinators – providing a feast for wildlife as well as for the eyes. Blooms make excellent cutting flowers, giving displays a majestic and airy feel whilst being long-lasting in a vase. Collection comprises: ‘Igneum’ (H: 80cm, S: 50cm), ‘Snowbells’ (H: 1.5m S: 50cm) and pulcherrimum ‘Blackbird’ (H: 1.2m S: 50cm) Dierama prefer moist, well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Plants are hardy perennials.
