CORAL CANYON® twinspur
Diascia integerrima 'P009S'
A cloud of soft pink, oval flowers from early summer to autumn frost. This heat tolerant introduction from the East Cape Drakensberg Range of South Africa has a wide tolerance of soil and exposure. By far the toughest performer in this novel genus of everblooming wildflowers. Perennial. Xeriscape.
Tips from the pros: Cut back to the ground in spring. If it gets a little floppy mid-summer, you can prune it back for shape and to encourage more blooming.
