Description

This evergreen groundcover is frost resistant, water wise and will happily grow in the sun. The yellow flowers open in spring and attract birds – insect eaters as well as butterflies. It is a clump-forming, graceful plant which prefers a well-watered position. It is ideal for small gardens. The name is derived from the Greek ‘dis’=two and ‘etes’=an associate referring to the flower spike that lasts 2 years. An associate as the flowers are similar to Morea and Iris families.
