DIASCIA 'Hopleys'

Description

Diascia ‘'Hopleys'

Height x Spread: 75cm x 75cm

Unlike the annual forms of Diascia which are commonly used as summer bedding plants, ‘Hopleys’ is perennial and hardy through most of the UK (-10 to -5). It is highly floriferous, producing masses of dusky pink flowers with dark red-pink centres, held on tall, upright stems clothed with glossy green leaves.  Flowering begins in late spring and continues throughout the summer into the autumn

This is a great plant for a small garden or terrace, where plants really have to prove their worth. Equally it makes a wonderful addition to a herbaceous or mixed border.  It needs a sunny spot and moist yet free-draining soil to thrive.  Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
