This question is on Dierama pulcherrimum
Does anyone have experience of growing Dierama pulcherrimum? A friend gave me some seeds about 5 years ago. I have been growing them on since then, but none have ever flowered, much to my disappointment! Most are in pots, the one pictured is in a 4ltr old clematis pot, as I thought it might need a deep root run, and one other is out in the garden. They all look pretty strong and healthy. Any ideas??

They hate pot culture is the trouble, Plant them out as soon as you can. Mine flowered in their second year from seed planted out

Thanks both! I wondered if it might be the pots that was bothering them - problem is, I don't have much space for plants that arn't flowering! I will definately find room for them now tho and just give them time I guess...

Dieramas are slow to establish, either as young plants or from seed. If they are growing strongly, they are happy with the conditions - it's just a matter of patience I'm afraid
