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.
Deemed the darkest of the dark, this sought-after Dierama dazzles with draped flared bells bathed in seductive midnight-purple and burgundy shades, furnishing a dramatic contrast against papery silver-frosted bracts. Long-lived grassy evergreen blades plus curved fishing-pole-like stems anchor the sumptuous display. Included in Noel Kingsbury’s top-13 Dierama picks, ′Cosmos′ can be admired atop a retaining wall for easy viewing and skirted by lower growing plants such as Carex texensis and Nepeta ‘Snowflake’.
Blooms June–August
