Dierama - Strawberry Ice Cream. “Showy” is a mild description of this plant. This evergreen has to be one of the most unique plants out there. Its tall arched stems tout different color bell-shaped flowers on the same plant. Some have various hues of pink/ lavender, shading down to white. Very attractive and so different, it captures your attention, staring in awe. When the flowers are spent, they leave behind decorative round seed heads. This plant likes to fool around and will easily pollinate with other species and varieties, resulting in colors that differ from the parent plants. Popular uses are bedding, borders, dot plant. Can sow at any time indoors. Outdoors, place in a sheltered spot in moist well drained soil. Grows well with dierama pulcherrimum. Can be used as ornamentals.

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!!!!
