I live in Northern Calif. I purchased a beautifublooming dierama about 4
years ago from Suncrest nursery. At that time I didn't evevn realize it was a
corm. I took it out of the pot and planted it on the slope in front of my home.
It has summer sun, shaded a bit in winter, good drainage, gets summer water
there and only what nature provides in the winter. I was very disappointed
the first 2 years as it did not bloom. However, this year it bloomed
beautifully and has grown into a sizable clump. I took some of it out and gave it to a
daughter who lives elsewhere. That's when I discovered it was a cluster of
corms or bulbs. I still have a small clump left and assume it will continue to
bloom. I disturbed it as little as possible when removing some for my
daughter.
