Dierama are reasonably frost hardy but will not survive water logging and cold. However, in addition, they appreciate water in the summer, I the wild they like sunny open sites.
When the foliage dies down in the winter, cut it off, if you are tidy minded, rather than pulling it.
Sow into gritty compost. This seed takes a few months to germinate at room temperature
Ensure a distance of 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.Transfer to cooler conditions after germination. A cold frame or unheated greenhouse, if this is not possible a cooler window inside.
Grow on the plant under protection during its first year.
It will die back in the autumn but start into growth again in the spring
When danger of frost has passed and the plant has formed a small clump choose a sunny well drained position and dig in a bit of grit.
These are formed as pretty papery chains, but do not come true to the parent plant. It takes about three years to grow on to flowering size.
It is also possible to propagate from corms, but plants are deep rooted
These estimates for how long Angel's fishing rod takes to sprout, grow and harvest are from real observations from real gardeners, right around the world.

The flowers have very thin stems, and the flowers bob in the breeze, giving the nale Angel’s Fishing Rods
Dierama do not grow new corms quickly, so true named cultivars are more difficult to obtain, compared to seed produced plants that may not show the parent plant’s characteristics
