Comment

Clump-forming form. Use as ground cover between shrubs, robust perennials or light woodland. Pruning Group 14.

"The Lamium genus includes both annual and perennial species; they spread by both seeds and stems rooting as they grow along the ground.

The common name refers to their superficial resemblance to the unrelated stinging nettles, but unlike those, they do not have stinging hairs and so are harmless or apparently "dead".

Lamiums are frost hardy and grow well in most soils. Flower colour determines planting season and light requirement: white- and purple-coloured flowered species are planted in spring and prefer full sun. The yellow-flowered ones are planted in fall (autumn) and prefer shade. They often have invasive habits and need plenty of room." from Wikipedia.
Further information from Dr Leonard Perry, Professor, University of Vermont in America.
"Lamium are about 40 species of annuals and perennials from Europe, Asia and North Africa. They are tufted, mat or clump-forming with opposite pairs of often nettle-like leaves and axillary clusters of tubular, two-lipped flowers. The smaller species are desirable for the raised bed, scree or alpine house, the somewhat larger ones for the rock garden, where they can be invasive. Well drained, gritty soil and sun is needed for the alpine species but the others thrive in any ordinary ground and tolerate shade. Propagation by seed (which germinate uncertainly) or division in spring and cuttings of basal shoots at the same time, or late summer to early autumn." from The Alpine Garden Society Plant Encyclopaedia in the UK.

"A handsome Dead Nettle. 61 cm stems carry pairs of dark, pointed, strongly-veined leaves. Beneath each pair is a whorl of rich strawberry-pink lipped flowers." from The Beth Chatto Gardens .

This and other cultivars are available from The Beth Chatto Gardens and Hardy's Plants in the UK with Plant Lust in America.

HERBACEOUS PERENNIAL INDEX -
There are over

  • 91 herbaceous perennials in the Herbaceous Perennial galleries,
    with
    23 Diascias linked to in the Diascia Photo Album Table at the bottom of each page in the Herbaceous Gallery,
  • 176 herbaceous perennials in the RHS Mixed Borders Garden Design and
  • 46 Peonies in
    the     Peony Gallery.

 

 

 

The variety of plants that can be used in alpine gardening is obviously very large and very bewildering at first approach. With a view to easing the task of selection here are lists
of alpines most likely to thrive and flourish under certain easily defined conditions and for special purposes, with
Alpines and Paving.

The standard potting and seed-soil recipes from The Propagation of Alpines by Lawrence D. Hills are at the bottom of the page on Alpine - Sink and Trough Gardens.

Phlox paniculata 'Nesperis'

Dear Mr C H Garnons-Williams,   
Thank you for your enquiry to the Royal Horticultural Society's Members' Advisory Service. 
On investigation, I have concluded that the phlox labelled as 'Nesperis' in the garden is in fact: Phlox x arendsii 'Hesperis' . 
A search on the internet will generate a great deal of information on this cultivar.
I hope this information is helpful.
Yours sincerely,   

Tony Dickerson
Horticultural Advisor

Diascia 'Red Ace'

diasciacfloredaceboulby1a

Bred by Hector Harrison and protected by Plant Breeders Rights.  One of the reddest flowered diascias around, and on some of the deepest green foliage it is a stunner.  Survives a good deal of dryness, and ideal for baskets.

Diascia rigescens

diasciaccflosrigescensboulby1a

Distinguished from other species by a yellow 'median keel' of glands on the lower lobe of the flower.  This photo shows its with Cistus ladanifer.  A lovely combination.

Diascia rigescens 'Anne Rennie'
Photo by David Fenwick

Similar to above but flowers a slightly paler shade and carried in rather more loose racemes.

Diascia rigescens x lilacina

One of Hector's earliest crosses and given to Blooms of Bressingham.  Nice mauve flowers and good foliage.  Prostrate habit.  Good in baskets but its a bit of a thug

Diascia 'Ruby Field'

diasciacflorubyfieldboulby1a

Bred by John Kelly and introduced in 1971.  Although he gave details of the cross he made to create it, we are not sure of the species he actually had due to name problems.It has nice blousy flowers on prostrate foliage and has been used in alpine beds for many years in the UK.

Diascia 'Selina's Choice'

Bred by Hector Harrison.  Plant has a very neat habit.  Apricot flowers in abundance and looks great as a hanging basket.

Diascia 'Tiny Tom'

Bred by Hector Harrison.Tiny foliage and interesting pinky mauve flowers, this is one of the smallest and neatest diascias I've seen.

Diascia trials at Appleby, North Lincs

Hector's hardiness trials take place every year in his search for good garden-worthy plants.

Diascia 'Twinkle'

diasciacflotwinkleboulby1a

Bred by Hector Harrison and protected by Plant Breeders Rights. Although this diascia is one of his first successes, it remains a firm favourite of mine.  Has tight purple racemes of flowers on very lush dark green foliage.  Superb in hanging baskets.

Diascia vigilis

diasciacflovigilisboulby1a

 

Diascia vigilis 'Jack Elliott'

 

Diascia 'William'

Bred by Hector Harrison and named for my brother William.  Has mid-pink flowers on lush green foliage.  We have lost this one, if you have it we'd love to hear from you!

Latest update 13 March 2001 of above Diascia Photo Album

"Their common name is twinspur, in reference to the two (usually downward-pointing) spurs to be found on the back of the flower. These help to distinguish them from the similar (and closely related) genera Alonsoa and Nemesia. The spurs contain a special oil, which is collected in the wild by certain species of bees that appear to have coevolved with the plants, as they have unusually long forelegs for collecting the oil.‪
In gardens, Diascia cultivars (mostly hybrids) have become extremely popular as colourful, floriferous, easily grown bedding plants in recent years." from Wikipedia.

 

"Diascias are sun-loving plants, but enjoy fertile rather than dry, poor soil. The cushion-forming types can get straggly so cut them back in late April and late August to keep them compact.
Hardiness can be a problem, but many will survive winter in well-drained soil.
You can containerise Diascia personata, but it has to be a substantial pot to balance the height of the plant. The ruby-pink flowers are excellent with dark blue agapanthus, purple dahlias or fluffy pennisetums.
At Great Dixter they use D. personata with the green and cream vertically striped grass, Miscanthus sinensis var. condensatus 'Cosmopolitan' to great effect. Graham Gough, of Marchants Plants, also uses it in his grass-led garden and he describes it as "remarkable and lofty"." from How to grow Diascia personata by Val Bourne in The Telegraph.

 

"Diascia is a natural for containers. You can fill an entire container with one variety or use a diascia plant as your spiller, in a mixed container. Diascia also makes a lovely edging plant and will elegantly flop over sidewalks and walls or throughout rock gardens.
Diascia perfers a slightly acidic soil pH. Something between 6.0 and 6.5 seems to be ideal.
It’s rare to find seed for Diascia, but there are some out there. Start seeds indoors, abou 6-8 weeks before your last expected frost. In warm climates, Diascia can be direct seeded. The hybrid Diascia won’t grow true from seed.
Diascia seed needs light to germinate, so just press the seed firmly on top of the soil, don’t cover it. It’s very important to keep the soil moist, since there’s nothing insulating the seed. Diascia seed should germinate within 2 weeks." from Gardening About in America.


Lazy S'S Farm Nursery in America sell Deer Resistant Plants:- "Realize, if deer are starving or in extremely high concentrations competing for food, they will eat almost anything. These Plants are their last choice. By inter-planting with these plants, especially the fragrant herbs, you make you entire garden less appealing to them! They never bother our gardens and we're convinced that it's because we work in the fragrant 'herbs' -- Yarrows, Catmints, Agastache, Etc., in every bed -- and why not - they're gorgeous and long blooming.

Deer's primary defense is their sense of smell. When a garden has a lot of highly scented plants, the deer have trouble smelling predators and they realize that they are more defenseless. So use lots of fragrant herbs especially larger ones like Perovskia - Russian Sage and Nepetas that release their strong scent if the deer brush against them.

Also, Deer do not like grazing extremely low, or too high. Shrubs and trees with foliage 3-5 feet or higher will be less likely to have deer damage."
 

 

"Diascias often have a spreading, suckering habit. Their upright or sprawling stems are lined with pairs of small, toothed leaves, varying from heart-shaped to thread-like. The slender stems are topped with clusters of open-centred, five-lobed flowers 1.5-2cm across, with two backward-pointing spurs — and because of this, Diascia is also known as twinspur.

At the base of the upper two lobes are two yellow windows, often almost merging into one. Diascia is often confused with Nemesia, which can be distinguished by having just one spur.

The flowers of most species come in shades of rose-pink, but the cultivars now available encompass lilacs, deep reds, salmons, oranges and white.

The long flowering season is one of the main attractions of diascias. Plants rarely set seed in the UK because of the climate and the lack of suitable insect pollinators, and this helps to prolong flowering.

Young, vigorous plants produce the best displays. When flowering ceases, most diascias can be encouraged to flower again if trimmed back and given extra fertiliser and water.

Diascias grow well in semi-shade but flower better in full sun. In well-drained soil, they will survive several degrees of frost, although plants often look miserable in cold weather. They vary in their hardiness.

D. barberae, D. fetcaniensis and D. integerrima Award of Garden Merit (AGM) seem to be the hardiest of the species, with D. ‘Appleby Apricot’, D. ‘Ice Cracker’ and D. barberae ‘Ruby Field’ AGM considered the hardiest cultivars.

When diascias first became popular, beginning with the appearance of ‘Ruby Field’ in the 1970s, they were viewed as perennials on the borderline of hardiness. Now it is mainly as plants for containers that their popularity has grown, with series such as Sun Chimes, Wink and Whisper introduced specifically for hanging baskets. The neater forms are also ideal at the front of borders and trailing types look good billowing over a low retaining wall.

New cultivars are introduced every year and these increasingly tend to have flowers close to the mat of foliage rather than held on upright stems high above the leaves.

 

Things to watch out for include aphids, which may infest young shoots. Slugs and snails can also be a problem and — if the conditions are poor — diascias can be susceptible to Botrytis.

What the specialists say

Christine Boulby, Diascia National Collection Holder, Northumberland “These are such charming plants and people do tend to fall in love with them easily. Some are perennials that tend to get cut short by our winters, even mild ones, so you would think they were annuals.
“To succeed with diascias you should give them a sandy, free-draining soil, which is exactly the sort of conditions they endure in their native South Africa. 
“Our National Collection, although in Northumberland, is only a mile from the coast so we do not get too many frosts. This suits Diascia very well, and we suffer relatively few winter losses.
“The plants have been marketed by the trade over the past decade or so as ‘patio’ plants, and so you will mostly see them growing as annuals in pots and hanging baskets. In a border situation, however, they can be very impressive plants, especially if they are allowed to spread their stems in between and through neighbouring shrubs.
“‘Ruby Field’ is an excellent form and is special as it was one of the originals. D. integerrima Award of Garden Merit (AGM) is a hardy, wiry plant, with pink flowers from June to October, requiring little attention. Another excellent form is D. rigescens AGM. Although it is a bit tender, it is a good ‘doer’ and makes an important statement in the garden.”

Stuart Lowen, marketing manager, Ball Colegrave, Oxfordshire “Diascia is susceptible to Botrytis, so avoid high humidity and wet foliage. When the plants are young, allow the media to dry slightly between watering. 
“The D. Whisper series is great for 12cm pots, patio containers and hanging baskets. The D. Wink series offers plants with a compact habit, with a great performance in large containers. They need a well-drained, disease-free, soil-less medium, ideally with a media pH of 5.6-6.0.
“The best way to control the growth of Diascia is to grow the crop cool, provide bright light and apply moderate, regular water stress to promote flowering and reduce unwanted vegetative growth. Pinch plants back seven to 10 days after transplanting to improve basal branching. For a larger basket or container a second pinch can be applied.”

In practice

Peter Jackson, director, Scotsdale Garden Centre, Cambridge “We plant up a low dish of diascias for the period when they are at their best, and this works very well to get the attention of the customer. We also tend to include them on our alpine benches —they appeal to the same sorts of gardeners, and are ideal for pots and containers. 
“But the thing to watch is the watering. There are a number of plants that, for us, do not sit well under our normal automatic watering regimes, and diascias are one of them. They must not get too wet, so hand watering, when absolutely necessary, is best.”
