Nice image. That’ll take 2 years for me
Luke Whiting (store manager) –
Thank you for taking the time to review your plants. The Dierama has been in that pot for two years now and we in initially split these from mature flowering sized bulbs so the potential in the pot is about 5-10 flowers in the year of purchase and full (image) maturity in the year after purchasing. Hope this helps ease your mind with the purchase and look forward to your orders in future.
All the best
Luke & Laura
