In a charming contrast to the rosy purple tones of Dierama pulcherrimum, var. album carries loose clusters of palest pink to white tubular flowers, each highlighted with a dark red throat. These dangle from slender arching stems that gently move in the breeze in a naturalistic and ethereal display lasting from July into August.
Slow to build into large clumps, it prefers a sunny or very lightly shaded and sheltered spot in a rich, fertile soil that is well-drained but never fully dries out. Hang in there and your patience will be rewarded by a delicate perennial that adds graceful movement and lightness to a border, gravel or coastal garden. Where soil and light conditions are right, its fine silhouette looks particularly beautiful reflected in water. In hard winters, protect from very hard frosts.
