Dierama 'Raven' - Dark Fairy Fishing Rod - Angel's Fishing Rod

Dierama 'Raven' is a striking fairy fishing rod with arching, wiry stems hung with deep burgundy-black, bell-shaped flowers that sway in the slightest breeze. Rising above clumps of fine, grassy evergreen foliage, it adds movement and drama to borders, gravel gardens and pond edges.
