Angel's Fishing Rod, Fairy Wand, Wandflower
Dierama pulcherrimum (Angel’s Fishing Rod) is an elegant, evergreen perennial featuring long, gracefully arching stems adorned with nodding, bell-shaped, pale pink to magenta to white flowers from early to late summer. The blossoms open in sequence along the wiry stems as the season progresses. They overhang gorgeously above a clump of long, narrow, grass-like leaves that are evergreen in mild winter climates. Dierama pulcherrimum requires very little attention and makes a truly unique display in the summer garden. When a breeze passes through, nothing can beat the wafting this plant shows off. Particularly striking when sited above a low wall, against a background of dark green shrubs, or near a pond or pool where it can be reflected for double the pleasure.
