Fertilizing

Light balanced feed in spring and early summer

Pruning

Tidy any winter-damaged foliage by cutting to the base in spring

Propagation

Propagate by seed sown in containers in a cold frame as soon as ripe. They may resent disturbance so leave until really congested before division of clumps in spring. Do not allow the corms to dry out. They may take 1-2 years to flower freely again

Growing

Grow in humus-rich, well-drained soil in a sheltered situation with full sun. Avoid planting in soils prone to staying wet. Plant in spring. Further dierama cultivation advice
