Dierama
'Luana'
few-flowered wandflower
Dierama 'Luana' is a quietly elegant evergreen perennial, valued for its neat habit and gently arching flower stems that bring movement without drama. Forming dense, grassy clumps of fresh green foliage, it reaches around 30-50cm in height, remaining tidy and well mannered throughout the year. In early to midsummer, Dierama 'Luana' sends up slender, wand-like stems just above the leaves, each carrying a small number of softly pendant pink flowers. Their restrained presence gives this few-flowered wandflower a refined, almost minimalist beauty, perfect for gardeners who appreciate subtlety. Dierama pauciflorum 'Luana' sits comfortably in naturalistic planting schemes, where its fine texture weaves effortlessly between grasses and other perennials.
Exceptionally useful in well-drained soil and a sunny position, Dierama 'Luana' thrives without fuss once established, rewarding patience with reliable summer interest. It is particularly effective at the front of borders or along paths, where its arching stems can be admired up close. Unlike more exuberant varieties, Dierama 'Luana' offers a calm, composed character that complements bolder neighbours rather than competing with them. The evergreen foliage ensures year-round structure, making this few-flowered wandflower a dependable choice for thoughtful, design-led gardens. Over time, Dierama pauciflorum 'Luana' develops into a handsome clump, quietly improving with each season.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
