Diascia 'Monhop Pink'
twinspur
This vibrant perennial is valued for its long flowering season and easy growth. It forms a neat, compact mound with small, oval green leaves that stay attractive for much of the year. From early summer through to autumn, it produces masses of dark pink blooms held on fine, wiry stems. The flowers appear in abundance, creating a dense display that works well at the front of borders or in patio containers.
Semi-trailing growth also makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets and mixed plantings where it can spill gracefully over the edges. With regular deadheading, it continues to bloom strongly for months.
Diascia 'Monhop Pink' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, performing best with consistent moisture during dry spells. It combines well with other summer bedding or perennials and is low-maintenance once established, needing only light trimming after flowering to keep it compact.

How to care for Diascia Monhop Pink:
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.
