Dietes Grandiflora is a hardy, water-wise indigenous perennial that produces elegant white flowers with yellow and blue markings throughout the year, perfect for creating striking displays in borders, mass plantings, or erosion control areas. This versatile South African plant thrives in both sun and semi-shade conditions, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens where year-round blooms and drought tolerance are desired. The sword-like leaves provide attractive structure even when not in flower, and the plant spreads naturally to form dense clumps over time. Plant 60-80cm apart for mass plantings or use as specimen plants in mixed perennial borders. Feed annually in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to encourage vigorous growth and continuous flowering.
