This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil, or general-purpose compost for containers
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: May to September
  • Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection)


Prolific and long-flowering, this colourful perennial produces its bright pink flowers throughout the summer if grown in a sunny spot and dead-headed regularly. Compact in habit, they also look wonderful when planted en-masse in a sunny border, but are also excellent for pots, rockeries and hanging baskets.


  • Garden care:Protect newly planted Diascia from overnight frosts (if still present) in the early stages of establishment. Once established divide congested plants in early spring or late summer. Protect young plants from slugs and snails. Trim after flowering. Diascia prefer well-drained soil and can suffer during very wet wet winters. To protect plants that are susceptible to rot in wet winter conditions, ensure they are planted in well-draining soil and consider adding grit or sand to the surrounding planting area to improve drainage. Raise beds or plant in containers if necessary, and avoid spots where water collects. If wet conditions are unavoidable, consider using a cloche or cold frame to shield the plants from excessive moisture.
