Plant description
A graceful, evergreen perennial, with arching stems of bell-shaped, pale to dark pink flowers which appear to dangle above the clumps of grass-like foliage.
The delicate-looking stems are actually very tough and seem to tremble in the breeze. Perfect for introducing movement to a garden, 'Pink Rocket' is best suited to a well-drained border in a sunny, sheltered site, or for overhanging water.
Initially slow to establish, it looks particularly good with early autumn-flowering ornamental grasses. Unfortunately though, as it is quite deep rooted, it is not suitable for pots.

How to care for Dierama Pink Rocket:
Consider location carefully to ensure your Dierama has warmth and free-draining soil, avoiding cold, shady or poorly-drained/soggy conditions. For heavy clay or light sandy soil, dig in plenty of well-rotted organic matter before planting.
Water freely during the growing season, but protect against excessive wet winter weather. Remove old foliage in early spring and and once established, divide congested clumps at the same time.
