Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A strapping & stately selection, ‘Lancelot’ stands 4’ high when blooming. Flowers are a studly ballerina pink & abundant, appearing in Summer over the grassy, evergreen foliage. Dieramas do like some Summer water, but once established they can do without. Disturb the corms as little as possible, as they are sensitive to this & avoid heavy, wet soils. Established plants will be around 3’ high & wide (or more), with blooming stems to 4’. The evergreen leaves are clumping & after a few years you can divide the clumps & share the corms if you’re so inclined. Best where they are given enough space that their delicate, wiry stems can wave in the breeze. Tolerant of many soil types. To maintain, remove old growth & bloomed out stems as necessary.
