Hardy Perennial. This is an interesting and unusual border perennial that is semi-evergreen. Flowers are a soft salmon pink and held in clusters above the foliage on slender flower spikes. Blooms in late summer and early autumn, bringing color to your border when most other perennials have faded. This particular species is lauded as the best performer among all Diascias. Important tips to remember about Diascias is that they do not like the combination of high heat and humidity nor extreme heat in general.
