Diascia barbarae
'Ruby Field'
(Twinspur)


The main attraction of this variety is the masses and masses of vivid pink flowers all through summer, it will start in late spring and flower all the way through to autumn.
Brilliant for brightening up a border and giving season long interest.

The flowers are produced on sprays of stems that shoot out of upright, dark green foliage, this perennial has a low growing, spreading habit and grows fast to create a good mass of foliage, the flowering height is around 40cm, the flowers are arranged over sprays of dark green stems. 

Use as part of a mixed border, running up to the mid border and on corners or border edges, prune back once the flowering begins to stop to encourage a later flowering, an early formative prune before flowing gives a more compact plant also.
