Dierama pulcherrimum Blackbird & erectum

Exquisitely beautiful. Blackbird with arching wiry 'rod like' stems rising through tufts of grassy foliage. Numerous darkest burgundy flowers hang just like fish from the rod from June to August and nod, even on the calmest of days providing continual movement. The stiff stems of erectum are closely packed with showy clusters of the brightest fluorescent pink outward facing flowers in late summer. Each petal has a little 'eye' marked on it. Both are attractive to bees and butterflies and evergreen. Prefers sun in moist but well drained soil. Height 90-120cm (36-48"). Spread 30-50cm (12-20"). Hardy perennial.
