DIERAMA PULCHERRIMUM 'PINK FAIRIES'DescriptionOur newest and most spectacular dwarf hybrid for some time makes a tight clump of thin leaves from which arise, in early summer, short stems carrying terminal sprays of large, pendulous, brightest pink bells. This new range of dwarf dieramas is quite stunning, and they are perfect for planting alongside a pathway where they can be admired but will barely encroach, unlike their taller-spreading relatives. Sowing AdviceSow at any time 5mm deep in a warm spot outside or in a propagator at between 15 and 20 degrees C. Germination takes up to four months. Grow on individual grass-like seedlings in small pots. Keep frost-free and moist the first winter as dieramas are evergreen plants, and should be kept growing when young. Plant out young plants the following spring. Dieramas can be promiscuous, pollinating easily with other species and varieties. These seeds may produce some flower colours differing from the parent plants. Key FactsFamily:Iridaceae Common name:Angels' fishing rods Classification:Hardy perennial Height:60-70cm LIMITED TIME SALE PRICE!! We love this evergreen perennial (in mild climates) for its outstanding and unusual display of pale pink to magenta to white flowers that hang along wiry stems like little 'fish' from a pole. The display will be particularly striking if situated against dark green shrubs, or near a pond or pool. The plant will grow to 4-5 ft tall when it has its wands, and flowers from early to late summer. Because it looks like a grass, one can combine them with ornamental grasses, blending into the landscape. Then when the flowering starts, it becomes the most decorative of the grass-like plants. This one is a bit challenging to grow, with the hardiness good to zone 8 & 9. Once it becomes established, it is 'good to go'! The color of the flowers may vary.

About Dierama DIERAMA ANGEL'S FISHING ROD, WANDFLOWER. In general, they like full sun in a well drained soil and perform best with ample summer water. They'll thrive in zones 8 and warmer in a rich soil like most other plants, but can potentially lose winter hardiness. Unfortunately Dierama are fickle, regardless if zone 7 or 8, and about 2/3 of our attempts to get them established in the ground failed. The best spot so far was our worst soil we could offer; rocky/sandy mixed in with dirt of lesser reputation. Absolute must is good drainage. If not sure, plant on a berm, the only way we can grow them. As far as taking the cold, we had some in 4" pots surviving 8°F with minimal protection. Either way, we recommend to experiment with lesser expensive Dierama first before you get into the more expensive selections.

It requires full sun in a well-drained soil that is reasonably moisture-retentive. I've found Dierama don't like growing in pots, and once they're established in the open ground, don't move them.
How do you propagate Angels fishing rods?Dierama can be propagated by division. Lift an established clump in the spring and cut into large sections and replant. The disturbance may interrupt flowering.
Can you plant Dierama in pots?Dierama are quite amenable to being grown in pots, though deep pots, such as long toms are preferable. When planted in the open ground they will, rather like bluebells, gradually bury themselves deeper into the ground.
How long do Dierama seeds take to germinate?Germination takes up to four months. Grow on individual grass-like seedlings in small pots. Keep frost-free and moist the first winter as dieramas are evergreen plants, and should be kept growing when young.
