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.
A richly hued hybrid most likely parented by Dierama ‘Cosmos’ and Dierama robustum, this vigorous Dierama sprouts tough, slender, grass-style foliage plus fine fishing rod-like stems adorned with deep purple-maroon flowers. Stage the dainty drooping panicles of flared trumpet-shaped blooms waterside and watch the slightest breeze set them in motion.
Blooms June–August
Size: 3-1/2' – 4-1/4' high x 3' 0" – 4' 0" wide.
