Description

Dierama pendulum is a beautiful evergreen plant grown from bulbs that can reach 2'-3' tall and 1'-2' wide. It likes rich, well drained soil in full sun. If harsh winter climates, plant in containers and move indoors. Leaves clump like grass and bell- shaped, pendulous flowers top wiry stems. It comes in a range of colors, depending on the cultivar. It blooms from June through August.

Water Saving Tip:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
