Dietes Bi Colour (*Dietes bicolor*) thrives in full sun to partial shade, with best flowering in sunny spots. This hardy, clumping perennial is ideal for borders, mass planting, or as an accent in rock gardens. It grows well along pathways or near water features, providing attractive foliage and yellow flowers with purple-brown markings. Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil, as Dietes can tolerate a range of soil conditions but dislikes prolonged wetness.
Dietes Bi Colour is well-suited to warm, temperate to subtropical climates and can tolerate light frost once established. It grows best in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C. This low-maintenance plant flowers intermittently from spring through autumn, adding a pop of color throughout the growing season.
Plant Dietes Bi Colour in well-draining soil. It adapts well to sandy or loamy soils and tolerates mildly acidic to neutral pH levels (6.0-7.5). Adding organic matter, such as compost, can improve soil quality and help retain moisture without causing waterlogging.
Feed Dietes Bi Colour with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth and flowering. Minimal fertilising is needed, but an annual application of organic compost can help maintain soil fertility and encourage blooming.
