I grow Dierama dracomontana and another similar one that are not as tall as the more familiar species, and never noticed any difficulty growing them, except that I have a tendency to keep them too dry and not transplant them into good soil mix when I should. I've divided them. The only problem I've noticed is that they won't bloom the following year. Brian, I hope you save seed from your dark flowered form and see what comes up. Mine are also grown from seed and so far are a deep rose pink. They do need full sun where I live on the Oregon coast. Robin Hansen Perfect days and cool nights, too good to last???
