Blackbird is the most famous variety of Dierama, sporting dark arching bells over slender foliage. Going by the common name “Angel’s fishing rod”, these plants can grow up to 1.2m tall and sway back and forth in a breeze. The flowers are very attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, while the overwintering tussocks of leaves provide important, sheltered hibernation sites for many beneficial predatory invertebrates such as ladybirds. This handy pictorial packet contains approximately 10 seeds and features full sowing and growing instructions on the reverse.
