Diascia derives it's Latin name from two words, 'di' meaning two and 'askos' meaning pouch, referring to the flower. Plant this gorgeous Diascia in full sun in fertile well drained soil. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Diascia is probably best suited to be grown in mixed containers or window boxes,although they can be grown in beds. Space plants 8" - 10" apart. They'll produce showers of flowers in spring to early summer until the daytime temperatures get really hot. Like a polar bear in a jungle, this Twinspur really stands out.
