Product Description
Dierama Blackberry Bells is a strong growing hybrid with very large deep purple trumpet flowers which dangle from the arched stems, so earning it the familiar name of 'Angels Fishing Rod'. It's perfect for planting at the side of a pond or anywhere that the flowers hang and sway alluringly in the breeze. In flower from early June, despite their delicate appearance the stems are surprisingly strong and make exotic cut blooms.
Supplied as 3 x established plants in 7cm pots, ready to plant out.
