Tips on How to Grow DiasciaThis All America winner is a great cool season bedding plant that performs well in the south during the winter and extending the colorful growing season into the fall. The delicate coral rose diascia flowers on 10"-12" tall plants are perfect for containers. Give this plant full sun to partial shade and any good garden or potting soil. It needs little attention to keep blooming season after season. Diascia is actually a short-lived perennial, but is often treated as an annual. The hardiness of the plants is yet to be fully determined. I have had plants blooming outside until Thanksgiving in my Zone 5 garden through several light frosts. When a hard freeze threatens, I bring them into an unheated but above-freezing porch, where they go semi-dormant. They revive in the spring, put on a flush of growth and go back to flowering. I think they might survive winter much like snapdragons if mulched in Zone 7 and above, maybe even Zone 6. Otherwise, winter the plants indoors or discard like annuals. They will bloom right through light frosts. Sow the seed six to eight weeks before your last frost indoors. It needs light to germinate, so just press seeds lightly into sterile medium. Keep moist and germination should take place in about 20 days. |
