Dierama pulcherrimum ~ Dark Purple Divisions, Angel's Fishing Rod

Divisions of our darkest violet-purple stock plants. They have been multiplying in the garden for a while now, but we recall our first plant coming from the amazing Ginny Hunt. A clumping perennial to 4 ft tall, its flowers are dark, violet-purple bells on long, delicate, and tall arching stems. 

The most common and easiest to grow of the Dierama; D. pulcherrimum puts on a remarkable, reliable floral show from mid to late summer. Arresting pendulous bells dangle on wiry, arching, tall stems. As South African natives, they are used to some summer water, though they tolerate our dry garden well and even put off seedlings. Give them some space and they will delight and bob with the swaying breezes. It incites plant lust, if you're not careful, and wins the contest for gracefulness hands down.
