An impressive Fairy Wand Flower or Angel's Fishing Rod. This is a good species with a narrow presentation and nice flowers of good rich pink held 4'-5' tall on wiry stems. This is not a big robust clumper but tends towards a narrower verticality quite in keeping with modern design trends. I think we have only seen one Dierama so far that has not floated our boat so some might say we are so biased that our opinions are worthless but we prefer to think that the genus is just chock-full of good garden plants with this being one of them. Evergreen except in cold winters. Mulch is good and Dierama do appreciate decent soil that doesn't dry although they tolerate some periods of dry.
This is a compact Angel's Fishing Rod but it is a lunker in flower power. This makes a dense evergreen grassy clump which has lots of flower stems bearing pendulous fared pink bells in mid summer. We have this out in our sunny border and it has been great. Very floriferous and gently self-sowing plus it is deer resistant.
A less-common Fairy Wandflower we grew from seed from the late Rod and Rachel Saunders of South Africa. This is a smaller species to 3' and later flowering than most species with its small pink-purple flowers occurring in July and early August. It is useful as weaning species for the hummingbirds so they don't have to go cold turkey when the others are finished.
Angel's Fishing Rod. As the specific epithet infers, this does have grand flowers! Widely flared big medium pink flowers dangle in mad abandon on 4'-5 stems. If actually used by angels for fishing, then it is the rod Hemingway would use in his Marlin quest. This assumes he got his wings which seems unlikely.
Seedlings from a floriferous red-flowered selection from Russell Graham. Russell had one of the most beloved specialty nurseries in the Northwest and to say he knows a good plant is stating the obvious. The parent plant is a short, dense clumper with small red flowers that rule by their majority. This has pride of place in our garden, widely separated from our other Dierama, so hope is for similarity on these children.
So notoriously promiscuous as to make a rabbit blush, these evergreen bulbous Iris family members are all about the summer of love. Embracing any bee that taps on its window bringing pollen from any nearby floozy flower, this exhibits a Bacchanalian moral turpitude that is either damned or extolled. These are young seed-grown plants from one of our darkest Dierama so at worst, this will still be pretty good.
Infrequently encountered species of Fairy Wand Flower, these are from wild collected seed from South Africa. Wide flares of bell-shaped flowers in rosy pink to lilac. I personally am hoping for lilac as we have the pink well represented. Either color is quite showy. Mulch if real cold.
Grown from wild collected seed sent by a friend in South Africa, this species has lavender to light pink slightly flared bell-shaped flowers of good size. These are held on wiry stems to 3 or 4 feet tall and pair well with many of the ornamental grasses being rather grass-like in foliage itself. Evergreen.
Seldom encountered dwarf species of the Angel's Fishing Rod or Fairy Wand Flower. I know you want the tall one and we are working on it but for now this much rarer short one is your option. Evergreen leaves and making small clumprs with wiry stems bearing a few pinkish bells. Wind tolerant.
Tall 3'-4' wiry stems hold pendant and swaying pink bells in June on this evergreen South African bulbous Iris relative. Dierama pendulum was the first species to be found back in 1770 on the Eastern Cape by the busy German botanist Thunberg. This makes a good garden plant and requires minimal attention. Sun and average water,
Fairy Wand Flower. Angel's Fishing Rod. By whatever name, you can rest assured that this is one damn fine evergreen bulbous member of the Iridaceae. Tough South African with 2'-3' basal clump of leaves and wiry tall stems with many pendant bell flowers of a particularly rich hot pink to magenta in this seed strain of ours.
Choice species making narrow thin clumps of evergreen grassy foliage and long wiry stems with many small pendant dark pink-purple bell-shaped flowers. A plant of open grassland in South Africa, this likes a sunny position in a soil that drains but retains moisture.
Seedlings from our plant grown from wild collected seed so second generation plants from South Africa. Dieramas are a promiscuous lot so expect flowers in shades of pink to edging on lavender possibly. To 3' or more in full sun and mulch in Zone 7 if winters are cold.
One of the hardier members of the genus, this is a good Zone 7 and sneaking into favorable conditions in upper Zone 6. A smaller species to just a couple feet tall, this Harebell has the typical wiry stems and 4-5 narrow lavender-pink bells which dance in the breeze. Letting this self-sow to create a small, wild meadowlet wouldn't be the worst thing you have done in your garden. Sun and even moisture is about all this easy perennial requires. And pretty much deer resistant too!
A dwarf Foxglove from Spain and North Africa and a Plant Select introduction for those hot and cold Rocky Moutain gardeners. Bewitching spires of dark Baltic amber flowers in early summer, this perennial will form nice clumps with multiple flower stems. Evergreen narrow leaves in less harsh winters, this is hardy to zone 4b. Not too wet, don't overfeed.
2nd generation from Turkey of this usually perennial Foxglove. The flowers, while not huge, more than compensate with a stellar performance - essentially the same credo I have lived to generally good effect. The small hairy-lipped pale yellow flowers densely pack the stems, blurring the line between plant and art.
Yunnan Honeysuckle. We saw this plant on the edge of the woods while hiking up to the Gangheba valley. It was an attractive small tree with 2-3 narrow trunks to about about 12' high. It has tubular-pouchy cream flowers flushed lightly in pink with a rich orange throat and attractive, widely winged seeds. Yunnan Weigela might be a better common name.
A very choice plant from the Appalachian Mts and closely allied to Podophyllum as they are both herbaceous members of the Berberidaceae. Broad leaves to a foot or more across with small white flowers which are easy to miss but screaming blue berries holler "Look at me!". Shade.
Chinese version of our East Coast Diphylleia cymosa. If you are into herbaceous Berberidaceae, right - that is all of you so of course this is a must-have! White flowers and blue fruit on red pedicels about rounded scalloped foliage. Some have this merged into Podophyllum. We don't. Divisions from our own plants.
Butterfly Iris. Described by Sarah in our mail order dept as "super precious" which is spot on. In the Iris family from Tasmania and New South Wales, this makes a substantive clump of thin evergreen leaves with tall wiry stems holding enchanting white flowers well above the leaves. Grown for decades in the Seattle garden of Jeanette Kunnen.
