Description

A rare, smallish species from the African mountains displaying ivory white pendulous flowers which, uniquely, open from pale sulphur yellow buds, a new colour-break in this genus. This choice plant will grow best in well-drained rich soil in a sheltered spot.

Sowing Advice

Sow at any time 5mm deep in a warm spot outside or in a propagator at between 15 and 20 degrees C. Germination usually takes from 4 to 8 months. Grow on individual grass-like seedlings in small pots. Keep frost-free and moist the first winter as dieramas are evergreen plants, and should be kept growing when young. Plant out young plants the following spring. Dieramas can be promiscuous, pollinating easily with other species and varieties. These seeds may produce some flower colours differing from the parent plants.
