Dierama
Fairy Wand Flower
This spectacular little-known corm comes from South Africa and augments just about any design situation, especially when it can be viewed from below. Surprisingly tough and undeniably enchanting, Fairy Wands withstand coastal winds and fairly low temperatures, while preferring good drainage.
Dierama dracomontanum (P-0639)
Each 12.00
Indigenous to South Africa’s Drankensberg Mountains, at elevations often over 8000 ft., where it’s known to cover entire slopes, this cold-hardy evergreen Dierama is small on stature, but big on flower power. Graceful arching stems leap from a snug grassy green clump, while premiering a pendant bee-friendly plethora of flared bell-like flowers with pointed tepals that range in color from rosy mauve to salmon-pink. Recommended by Noel Kingsbury in his recent article about Dieramas, Dierama dracomontanum′s diminutive fine-textured habit can be nestled between rocks or staged in a sunny border′s frontlines alongside Nepeta reichenbachiana and Stachys ‘Densiflorus’
