Dierama Latifolium - Indigenous South African Bulb - 5 Seeds

Dierama is a genus in the Iridaceae and is commonly known as Fairy's Fishing Rods or Fairy's Wand. Its cultivars produce graceful flower shoots bearing flowers of a range of colours from white through to dark red. It retains some foliage throughout most winters in the temperate zone but its principal over-wintering stage is a corm or rather a chain of corms similar to those of Crocosmia species. The genus name is derived from the Greek word dierama, meaning "funnel", and alludes to the shape of the flower.

An indigenous perennial bulb, this is one of the tallest Dieramas, with wire thin flower stems reaching as high as 2m. The delicate pale pink pendent bells, produced in midsummer, move in the slightest breeze.
