How to grow dierama

With dainty pink flowers dangling from thin arching stems that sway in the breeze, this elegant perennial is ideal in gravel gardens as well as borders, especially when teamed with ornamental grasses. Give it a warm, sunny, sheltered spot and fertile, well-drained soil and it will flower from midsummer through into autumn.
