Diascia
integerrima * Spur Flower or Twin Spur |
| Diascia integerrima just seems like it is almost always in bloom.
The plant regenerates from the root each year, often disappearing each winter in
cold winter areas. I have seen it come back very well from roto-tilling but it has no
staying power in soggy soil. Diascia integerrima grows to 1 foot tall and spreads about 3" a
year. After a couple of seasons the center begins to thin and it is probably about
time to divide it and replant. It is at home in the rock garden as well as the
perennial bed. The flowers are a great addition to the flower vase with their
vibrant color and unusual shape.
