Dierama pendulum (Fairy Wand) - This African genus of the iris family is cultivated outdoors in California and other mild climates. It is a sun-loving corm with moderate water needs. Discontinue watering during dormancy. The spring and summer bloom color varies from white to pink to rose. In spring, tall (4-5 feet tall) flower stalks arch over and bear bell-shaped flowers. Its grassy-looking, thin leaves will grow from 4 to 6 feet tall and can clump 2 to 3 feet. It is hardy to below 15 degrees F.
This information about Dierama pendulum displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
