Wandflowers (Dierama species) are graceful, clump-forming perennial plants native to southern and eastern Africa, admired for their tall, slender, arching flower stems that carry delicate bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, white, or reddish tones. Their grass-like foliage gives them a soft, flowing appearance, and they are especially attractive when planted where their flower stalks can sway in the breeze. Wandflowers prefer sun to light shade and well-drained soil, making them an elegant choice for many California gardens.
It is generally considered non-toxic to dogs and cats, making it a relatively pet-friendly ornamental plant. Its graceful, arching flower stalks and grass-like foliage can be safely grown around pets, although eating large quantities of any plant material may cause mild stomach upset. As a precaution, discourage pets from regularly chewing on wandflowers or other garden plants.
