Hardy's Gardening Tip for the Week: Lots of your summer herbaceous perennials will be setting seeds so this will be the time to be collecting them whilst the weather is still good and the seed heads are dry. Make sure you collect seeds in paper bags and label clearly what you have collected Ensuring that you do not touch the seeds with your hands |
DIASCIA
DIASCIA
SCROPHULARIACEAE
Twinspur is grown mainly for its masses of flowers, over a long period throughout the summer.
About 50 species, both annual and perennial, can be found in the wild in Africa. There are also many garden hybrids, which are being developed to produce more compact plants with increased flowering capabilities.
These tend to be short-lived perennials and they require full sun and very free-draining soil to cope with winter conditions. Often, they are grown as container or hanging basket plants and treated as annual.
