Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The earliest of the bunch; blooms as early as end of April. The rather star-shaped than bell-shaped flowers are outward facing instead of pendulous. Collected as unknown seed from Drakenberg Mts. For well drained soils but does appreciate some summer wate

An early blooming wandflower, this 3-4’ tall perennial sports large, pale pink star shaped flowers that face outward from the stems April>June. Site in full sun in well drained soil and make sure it gets plenty of summer moisture.

An extra early bloomer, extremely rare 'Spring Dancer' puts on its fab display of pretty pink, starry flowers in April & May, where it can mix & mingle with your Spring annuals. Totally rare & odd, instead of having flowers that hang pendulously 'Spring Dancer' has flowers that face outward on 3-4' thin stems. Delightful! Grown from seed collected in the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa. Dieramas like some Spring time water, but once established they can do without. Disturb the corms as little as possible, as they are sensitive & avoid heavy, wet soils.
