diamondflowers

Overview

Diamondflowers (Stenaria nigricans) are an attractive flowering plant native to tropical areas of Central and South America. The plant produces heart-shaped leaves and beautiful white flowers with delicate star-like petals. The petals, surrounded by silvery-green sepals, appear almost crystalline and shimmer in the sunlight, giving the plant its common name. The flowers are followed by small, green seed pods that hang from the stem in clusters, hence another of its common names - 'beads of Promise'. Diamondflowers are easy to maintain and will reward any gardener with their beauty and drought tolerance.
