Named for Dr. G. W. Reynolds, an optician, Aloe authority and Dierama fan, this gorgeous Dierama was discovered in the higher elevation grasslands of the KwaZulu-Natal region on a 1832 collecting trip. Lengthy arching stems present the posh, 1 in. long dangling wine-red flowers, which are nestled amid white pewter-laced tissue-like bracts, boldly setting off the pointed tepals. Highly favored by plant designer Noel Kingsbury, Dierama reynoldsii′s upright, narrow-bladed 2 ft. tall clump imparts peerless enchantment to small containers, rockeries, cottage gardens and even cut creations.
