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)
