Dierama Adelphicum seed

Dierama Adelphicum genus name is derived from the Greek word dierama, meaning "funnel," and alludes to the flower shape. Adelphium is a South African plant that is from Swaziland. Dierama are  often called Angel's fishing rod because of the way the branches bend and sway when the plant flowers and the weight of the flowers cause it to bend. This variety is more a dwarf as it only reaches 3 feet average. Being recently discovered it is rather rare at this time. The clusters of pink bell-shaped flowers all group together and hang at the end of the stalks. This variety is a profuse bloomer. Certain species have been used in traditional African medicine and spiritual practices. Very rare species collected from Swaziland.  These are Summer Bloomers and flower until Fall.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!

SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!

ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.

DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.

Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
