Angel’s Fishing Rod Dark Cerise-flowered

A really elegant perennial, Dierama pulcherrimum Dark Cerise is an evergreen, cormous, clump-forming perennial with an arching habit, which looks lovely with irises and grasses. The slender, narrow leaves are mid-green. The flowers are large, funnel-shaped and deep, plummy cerise, coming out in June to August. It’s great planted next to water, but it does need free-draining soil. Angel’s fishing rod Dark Cerise-flowered is an easy perennial, good in courtyard gardens, being rather architectural, and at the front of beds and borders, gracefully leaning over gravel yards and paths. It makes a good cut flower.
