Hi Folks,
Anybody here grown dierama (Angel's Fishing Rods)? I have some corms
in the
mail and haven't decided what I should do w/'em, yet. The catalog says
they'll take some shade and I have plenty of shady spots, but they are
really-shady. I also have a new raised bed on the edge of the veggie
garden
beside the driveway where I thought they'd be quite showy, but it's in full
sun all day. Should be good drainage and easy watering and it's overtop
where the old compost bin was.....but we're quite hot/dry/windy here.


Oh yeah......and do slugs like 'em?
Kate(any advice would be appreciated!)H


Based on limited experience, I would say go for the sunny spot rather
than shady. I think they don't like it too dry, but you imply you would
be watering if necessary.
I haven't found slugs to be a problem at all.
