| Not long ago few Americans outside the West Coast grew Diascia, but now it's becoming widely popular across the country. This European favorite offers plentiful blooms from early spring until fall on a neat, compact plant that looks terrific spilling out of containers and billowing in the garden. And now -- at last! -- it's available in seed form! From early spring right up to fall in mild and cool climates, this hardworking little plant sends up dozens upon dozens of 1-inch coral-rose blooms. In warm climates, it's an early-season plant, flowering very heavily in spring and early summer. One of the most flower-happy plants you will ever grow, Diamonte™ just doesn't know when to quit! It has already won an All-America Selection for 2006, and is certain to be one of the hottest new plants this season. But it's more than a fad -- it's a truly gardenworthy plant, ready to keep you in color for months! And it's easy to grow from seed. Cover the seed lightly and our multi-pelleted seed will sprout in less than a week. Within 3 months you'll have a blooming plant -- with no pinching required! The best thing about Diamonte™ is that it actually outperforms plant varieties you may have seen! 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. Expect Diamonte™ to reach 12 to 14 inches high and wide. Pkt is 15 pelleted seeds. |
