Dierama pulcherrimum, angel's fishing rod,[4] is a species of flowering plant in the iris family Iridaceae,[1] native to South Africa. Growing to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall by 0.5 m (1.6 ft) broad, it is an arching evergreen perennial with drooping rosy pink bell-shaped flowers in summer.[4]
It was introduced to British gardeners in 1866 by the Yorkshire botanist James Backhouse. Common names include angel's fishing rod, hair bell, and wand flower.[5] It is hardy but requires a sheltered position in full sun.[4]
The Latin specific epithet pulcherrimum means "most beautiful".[6]
