This mix of Dierama varieties are sure to put a dash of colour into your garden. Sporting slender stems tipped in bursts of bell shaped flowers, these plants sway back and forth in a breeze. The bells flower through the summer months and their colour ranges from purple to pink to white depending on the variety.

These can be sowed indoors at any time of the year but be warned; germination can be erratic taking between 1-3 months and can also sometimes need a bout of cold stratification so this might test your patience; but it’s worth it, we think.
Sow 5mm deep into moist well-drained seed compost, your ideal temperature is 18C but allow 5-6 waiting time. If nothing is happening it very well might be dormant, so this is when you will cold stratify. Move to 4-5C for 4-6 weeks then move back to 12C for germination.
Once your seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow on individually in a frost-free place, greenhouse or directly outside. The seedlings will much prefer being planted out rather than pot grown.
Remember when planting this prefers a humus-rich, well-drained soil in full sun. Don’t allow the soil to dry out in summer or become waterlogged in winter. Will appreciate a general feed in spring if desired.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
