Dierama pulcherrimum var. album
white angel's fishing rod (syn. 'Snowbells')
An evergreen perennial, with graceful, arching stems of bell-shaped white flowers with neat, dusky pink markings in the throat. This pale coloured form of this popular Angel's fishing rod is perfect for introducing movement to a well-drained border in a sunny, sheltered site, or for overhanging water. Initially slow to establish, it looks particularly good with early autumn-flowering ornamental grasses. Unfortunately, though, it is not suitable for pots.
