Charming and captivating….‘Hopley’s’ has all the grace and delicate beauty of a Diascia in a much taller foxglove-like form. Blooming for long periods between May to September, this pretty dusky pink-flowered herbaceous perennial will require some frost protection in the winter. - Garden care: Once established, divide congested plants in early spring or late summer. Protect young plants from slugs and snails and trim them after flowering. Add a thick layer of organic mulch to protect against excessive cold and shield plants from prolonged periods of wet weather in winter.
