Diascia Little Dancer

Common Name:
Twinspur 'Little Dancer'

Description:
Diascia 'Little Dancer' is a compact, mound-forming perennial renowned for its profusion of soft pink, two-spurred flowers that bloom from early spring through to autumn. Its semi-evergreen foliage forms a dense, dome-shaped habit, making it an excellent choice for borders, rockeries, containers, and hanging baskets. Thriving in Melbourne's climate, 'Little Dancer' prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering, and trimming young plants promotes strong basal branching. This variety is also attractive to pollinators, adding ecological value to gardens.
