Dierama hybrida 'Blackbird'
- Product number: 585100
- Origin: South Africa
- Latin: Dierama hybrida
A beautiful, very dark purple variety. The gracefully hanging, trumpet-shaped flowers (which are mainly concentrated at the ends) are like elongated bells and hang from tough, fishing rod-like stems.
Height 90-120 cm. Give the plants a sheltered spot and, most importantly, not too wet (on a mound).
Dierama plants have a graceful inflorescence: the more or less long, thin (but tough) stems bear trumpet-shaped flowers, which are mainly concentrated at the ends and hang downwards. The stems bend due to this weight, creating the illusion of a fishing rod under tension! Give the plants a sheltered spot and, most importantly, not too wet (on a mound).
