In the end, I am disappointed by these flowers that are slow to bloom and, moreover, they have a very slow growth.

Description
Diascia 'Breezee Plus Orange' is an improved variety of diascia, with a compact and bushy habit, and gorgeous bright orange flowers, larger than those of other varieties. It quickly forms a rounded mound with numerous vibrant flowers that bloom from spring until the first frost, among its small heart-shaped leaves. This less hardy perennial plant loves the sun and well-drained soils. Well-known for its use in hanging baskets and containers, it is also very attractive in rock gardens or low borders.
Diascia 'Breezee Plus Orange' belongs to the Scrophulariaceae family. It is a recent cultivar derived from Diascia barberae, native to southern Africa, Lesotho, and KwaZulu-Natal. This plant has a highly branched habit, forming a neat little bush even in the rain, with a size of 25cm (9.8in) in all directions. Flowering begins in spring and continues until the first frost. It produces clusters of fiery orange flowers, with broad labella, whose throat is lightly speckled with red, extending downwards with two spurs. The diameter of the flowers does not exceed 2cm (0.8in). These flowers somewhat resemble snapdragons. The foliage, deciduous to semi-evergreen depending on the climate, is composed of small, 2cm (0.8in) long, heart-shaped leaves with toothed edges, in a medium olive green shade.
Due to its tenderness, the diasica 'Breezee Plus Orange' is grown as an annual plant in our latitudes. It can be used in the ground or in pots, alone or mixed with other low-growing species such as Lithodora, silver baskets, and aubrietas. Given its bushy, upright and branched habit, it will look good in borders, flower beds, ground covers, rock gardens, containers, or hanging baskets, in the gaps of walls and paving. In a floral arrangement, it can be paired, for example, with morning glories, nemophila, lobelias, and isotomas.
Note: Please be aware that our young plants in plug trays are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in a sheltered place (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14C° for a few weeks before being placed outdoors once the risk of frost is definitively eliminated.

Planting and care
Install Diascia barberae 'Breezee Plus Orange' in the ground or in pots, after the end of frost, in a fertile soil to support flowering, moist to occasionally dry, humus-rich, perfectly drained in winter. This plant dreads stagnant humidity. The further south you go, the more the plant fears the scorching afternoon sun and dry soils. It is useful to pinch the terminal shoots to accentuate the bushy habit. Cut back faded stems after flowering. This diascia is hardy up to about - 8°C, in perfectly drained soil. In winter, outside mild climate regions, it is preferable to shelter this tender plant in a cold greenhouse or an unheated conservatory.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
