    I'd be happy to send you some corms of my big, pink Dierama. I split it last week. Originally from seed of D. pulcherrimum Slieve Donard Hybrids. PM me your address if you'd like some :) 20230702_094826.jpg

      If @noisette47 can't get corms to you from France, pm me instead. I have lots of different seed grown ones. Plant World seeds mixed varieties - easy germination - I now have dierama all over the garden!

        They're wonderful for self-seeding, aren't they Caroline? :biggrin:

        Tbh mine haven't yet self seeded - I had the mixed Plant World seeds and the germination was excellent. I tried finding people to give them to, but not many gardeners round here
