Dierama - 'Blackbird' seed

Dierama Pulcherrimum - Blackbird. Also known as dierama blackbird, angels fishing rod and fairy fishing rod.  This variety of Dierama is my most popular of all listed. This plant produces deep burgundy wine-purplish red flowers that are unique to put it mildly. It is a clumping evergreen perennial that produces dainty dark wine purple bells on a thin wiry arching stem. Be patient, it takes a little time for the plant to get established after transplanting. Other than that they are tough and beautiful and virtually carefree. They do best outdoors in hummus rich well drained soil in a sheltered area. Dieramas are long term plants that get better every year and when mature are great focal points in bloom.

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!!!!
