Diascia 'Monhop'

 

Twinspur 'Monhop' (Series)

Most diascia varieties are low-growing bedding plants, also suitable for containers and hanging-baskets, but some varieties have tall, upright.spires of flowers. The flowers are small, but profuse. The leaves are dark green and oval. 'Monhop' is a series of 3 different colours of border diascias. suitable for planting in a border. They flowers from mid Sprig right through first frosts, and are easy to grow. They do, however, need to be overwintered in a cold greenhouse, unless your garden is in a very mild Winter area, and the soil in which the plants are growing is very free-draining (these plants do not like wet roots in Winter)

Flowering

From Early Spring TO Late Autumn

Diascia have a long flowering season, from early Summer to late Autumn in UK - in their native South Africa the flowering season is shorter

 

Planting

From Mid Spring TO Late Spring

Plant in Spring in a sunny site in well-drained fertile, good-quality soil.

 

Propagating by cuttings

From Early Spring TO Mid Spring

Take cuttings from new growth early in the day in Spring. Cut, neatly, a 4" approx. piece of a non-flowering shoot, pinch out the tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
