This 'Diascias Collection' brings together three excellent varieties from the Breeze Plus® series, prized for their early and prolonged flowering, vigour, and diverse colour palette. It includes the Diascia x barberae 'Breeze Plus White', with white flowers, the Diascia 'Breeze Plus Orange', remarkable in a vibrant orange, and the Diascia 'Breeze Plus Pink', in a fresh pink. These compact and semi-trailing plants bloom from spring until the first frost. They thrive in rich, well-drained soils with a gently sunny exposure. Their versatility allows for numerous uses, whether in hanging baskets, containers, rockeries, or border plantings.

This collection is sold in a set of 5 plug plants, which includes:

x 1 Diascia 'Breeze Plus White' with white flowers

x 2 Diascia 'Breeze Plus Orange' with beautiful bright orange flowers

x 2 Diascia 'Breeze Plus Pink' with medium pink flowers, both fresh and soft.

Diascia Breeze Plus® are perennial plants most often grown as annuals: they are sensitive to heavy frosts (-8°C), grow very quickly, and offer a long flowering period throughout the summer. Their slightly trailing habit is very effective in hanging baskets and containers.

They should be planted in spring, in a rich, well-drained soil, in a sunny but not scorching location, in soil that does not dry out too much to maximize their flowering. Combine the 3 varieties of this collection by playing with their colours. In a border or above a wall, place the most colourful variety, 'Breeze Plus Orange', at the front, for example with blue annual lobelias to temper its colour. The other two varieties, pink and white, more subtle, will be placed in the background. Allow for 8 plants per square metre, with an optimal spacing of about 25cm between each plant.

Diascias 'Breeze Plus' require little maintenance. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and apply a flowering plant fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season to stimulate abundant flowering. These plants are not very susceptible to diseases and most pests, making them suitable for gardeners of all levels.
