The flowers of Dietes bicolor are borne on tall stalks and have a unique colour pattern, with yellow or cream-coloured petals adorned with contrasting burgundy markings. The flowers appear throughout the year in cycles, adding a burst of colour to gardens and landscapes. This plant is versatile and drought-tolerant, making it a popular choice for water-wise gardens and coastal areas.
