How to care for Diascia Diamond Light Pink:
Pot up cuttings and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio.
Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
For our 9cm plant range, protect newly planted twinspur 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 and trim plants after flowering.
Diascia prefer well-drained soil and can suffer during very wet wet winters. To protect plants, 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.
