Dierama 'Snowbells' (Pulcherrimum)

Description

This beautiful colour-break in Dieramas produces large, flared milky white bells over a long period in early and mid summer, with clumps improving over the years. Seedlings may also produce the odd bicolor or palest pink-flowered plant but these can be easily separated whilst still quite young.

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.
