Dierama Pink Rocket, commonly known as ‘Angel’s Fishing Rod’, is a striking perennial plant celebrated for its graceful and delicate appearance. This plant features arching stems that can reach heights of up to 1 metre, adorned with clusters of pendulous, bell-shaped flowers. The blooms, which appear in late Spring to early Summer, are a captivating shade of soft pink, often deepening to a more vibrant hue at the tips. Each slender flower stem sways elegantly in the breeze, adding a dynamic and whimsical quality to garden landscapes.

The narrow, grass-like leaves form a dense clump at the base, providing a lush, green backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the delicate flowers. This plant thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for borders, cottage gardens, or as a focal point in mixed perennial beds. Relatively low-maintenance it attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing the biodiversity of any garden setting. Its ethereal beauty and graceful form make it a standout addition to any floral display.

How to care for your Dierama Pink Rocket

  1. Light: Prefers partial to full sun, but can tolerate some shade. It is best to plant the Dierama in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade.
  2. Water: Prefers moist soil, but it is drought tolerant and can tolerate periods of dryness. Water the plant regularly and make sure the soil does not dry out completely.
  3. Fertiliser: It does not require a lot of fertiliser, but it can benefit from a slow-release fertiliser applied once a month during the growing season.
  4. Pruning: It does not require frequent pruning, but it can be pruned to shape and control its size. Prune the plant after it flowers, and avoid pruning in fall or winter.
  5. Soil: It prefers moist, well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy clay or sandy, amend it with organic matter to improve drainage.
  6. Temperature: It is hardy down to -10°C,  but will be killed by prolonged freezes.
