Diascia integerrima ‘Blush’  

The pearly blooms of this recent British selection herald an exciting new color within the Twinspurs. Arising from close-knit, grayish green linear foliage, the wiry 18 in. stems display myriad flowers that open with pinkish hints, and soon pale to nearly white. Let ‘Blush’ colonize a well drained spot atop a stone wall, where its carefree stance brings charm to such plants as Dracocephalum ‘Fuji Blue’ and Antirrhinum sempervirens.

Blooms June – October.

Size: 18" high x 18" & spreading; hardy to zone 8.
