More Details

This is the diascia which won me over to this family with simple, open-faced, mini, almost foxglove-like spires.

This variety is reilably perennial if given frost protection and flowers for six months. We now use it in our borders as well as pots - hugely recommended.

Sarah Raven plants are always healthy, well packaged and the communication is great. With each order you get superb planting instructions for your chosen plants. Growing them on is a joy with outstanding results time and time again. One of the reasons I would always recommend Sarah Ravens plants.

Of all the items I purchased this year, only the Erigeron survived. With regards the other purchases they were struggling when I received them or died within a few days of potting up.
