Diascia is highly prized for its froth of richly coloured flowers carried on slender stems. These pretty annuals flower prolifically all summer – cut them back after their first flush of flowers to promote new growth, and they will continue to bloom into autumn! An outstanding plant for rockeries and the front of borders, which can also be planted in hanging baskets to form a lavish sphere of long lasting colour. Supplied as 30mm plugs. Height: 30cm (12”) Spread: 50cm (20”).

How to Grow
Diascia Tom Thumb

Pot up plants into 9cm pots and grow them on in warm frost free conditions for transplanting later on.
Water sparingly until plants are fully rooted in.
When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days.
Aftercare
Plant in containers, baskets and borders in any well drained soil in full sun.
Feed and water regularly, particularly during hot periods.
Deadhead faded Diascia flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. Shear leggy stems back to promote further flushes of growth.
