Origin

Diascias are from Southern Africa where they grow in sunny open areas where they get lots of sunlight. They do not like hot and humid weather. Breeding between the annual and perennial forms has resulted in many colour forms appearing on the market. Appleblossom is one of these.

Care Instructions

Diascias are fast growing garden plants in most well draining garden soils where the beds have been well prepared with some compost incorporated in the bed before planting. Fertiliser similar to Blood and Bone or other similar ones dug into the area is beneficial. They need watering freely with fortnightly applications of a weak solution of a balanced liquid fertilizer. As flowering seems to be fading the plants can be pruned to rejuvenate them and get a second flush of flower.

Uses

Plant into smart garden pots for use in the outdoor rooms of your living areas. Breezee™ Diascias give of their best with minimal care. They are really a living bunch of flower which give up to four months of continuous flower, a really great show.

Planted into rockeries or bordering garden beds the effect is stunning with lots of colour blending into the floral show you have planned when you planted the garden.
