8 Fortnight Lily Bare Root Plants Dietes bicolor African Iris for Borders Landscapes Garden Beds

Fortnight Lily, also known as Dietes bicolor or African Iris, is a clump-forming perennial grown from rhizomatous bare roots and prized for its slender, sword-like foliage and delicate blooms. Each flower lasts only a day, but new buds open in succession over a long season, giving borders and beds a steady display of soft color.

Ideal for borders, landscape plantings, and mixed garden beds, this evergreen perennial brings year-round structure with its upright fans of foliage. It works well in mass plantings, along pathways, and in water-wise designs. Space the bare roots evenly to allow the clumps to fill in naturally over time.
