Coincidentally, as I had not yet read this thread, yesterday evening I transplanted a large clump of Dierama, some into 5-gallon buckets (with many holes drilled in the bottom) and some into a tub of dirt. (We are moving around a LOT of dirt in preparation for some home repairs.) I have had little luck transplanting Dierama in the past. I can confirm that when newly planted they need a lot more water than usual. And even established they grow and bloom better with summer water. They self sow only in spots that get more water. Their roots go deep. I notice roots emerging only from the top 4 or 5 corms in the stack. I leave the whole stack intact, trying not to break roots. As these seed all around the garden, there are plenty, and in a variety of white to pink, narrow to wide, with varied bloom times. I also have one clump of deep wine red I grew from seed from Gordon Julian in Australia which he sent to me in 2013. Those do not grow as tall but the color is rich. My white ones are the tallest, with 4 ft tall leaves and 6 ft tall bloom stalks.
