Dietes bicolor is a clump-forming, evergreen perennial featuring long, stiff, sword-shaped linear leaves and pale/buttery yellow petals accented by three distinct maroon to dark brown blotches at the base. Blooms emerge in bursts roughly every two weeks. Individual flowers last only one day but are continuously replaced. Uses include mass plantings, erosion control, pathways, accent planting, medians, parking lots, pool areas, and as a low hedge or visual screen. It is highly adaptable to different soil types (clay, sand, acidic, or alkaline). Moderate water use, though drought-resistant once established. Best in full sun but highly shade-tolerant; prefers afternoon shade in hot inland zones. Deer-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 25°F.
