| Botanical Name | Dietes vegeta (syn. Dietes iridioides) |
| Description | A robust, clumping evergreen known for its sword-like foliage and "fortnight" blooming cycle. It is exceptionally well-suited to the Houston climate, showing great resilience in both humid and dry conditions. While it is highly adaptable to various soil types, including heavy clay, it prefers a well-drained site to look its best. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade (Full sun promotes more frequent blooming) |
| Height x Width | 2-3' Height x 2-3' Width |
| Water | Moderate; once established, it is very drought-tolerant but appreciates supplemental water during peak Houston summer dry spells. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer to encourage new flower stalks. |
| Pruning | Minimal; remove spent flower stalks and any brown outer leaves in late winter. Do not cut back the entire plant unless severely damaged. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
