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.
Recently discovered at Britain’s Plant World Seeds, this stand-out chance seedling forges a tall and mighty semi-evergreen clump. The attractive sword-shaped green leaves give way to nimble curved stems hosting fanciful laden clusters of pendent bell-like blooms with flared carmine-colored petals and tissue-thin frosted calyxes.
Splendid in containers, near pools, atop garden walls or as a specimen in mixed borders, ‘Blood Drops’ enjoys bright, adequately moist, well-drained abodes plus protection from cold winds and frosty nights.
Blooms June–August
Size: 3' 0" – 4' 0" high x 2-1/2' – 3' 0" wide.
