Trachymene coerulea Lace Pink seeds

Didiscus caeruleus 'Lace Pink' is a horticultural selection of an annual herbaceous plant from the Araliaceae family, related to ivy. The species is native to southwestern Australia, Malaysia, New Caledonia and Fiji. The 'Lace Pink' variety impresses with the delicacy of its inflorescences, which follow one another from June-July until September. Each inflorescence measures 5 to 6 cm in diameter and is composed of tiny five-petalled flowers, grouped into a flat umbel with a texture like fine lace. Their soft colour and light, yet distinct, fragrance invite contemplation. The plant, reaching a height of 60 to 90 cm within a few weeks, has branched and upright vegetation, with sparse foliage, which highlights the beauty of its flowers. The crown occupies about 35 cm of ground. The airy, light green foliage is grouped at the base of the plant and composed of leaves which divide into a few leaflets.

The Blue Lace Flower 'Lace Pink' integrates gracefully into refined landscape compositions. Its delicate, pastel pink umbels bring a touch of lightness and romance to beds and borders. To enhance its presence, pair it with plants of soft hues and varied textures. Cosmos bipinnatus 'Apricot Lemonade', with its apricot-toned flowers, creates a harmonious contrast. Lathyrus odoratus 'Cupani', with its purple clusters and enchanting fragrance, reinforces the cottage ambience. Finally, Ammi majus 'Casablanca', with its airy white umbels, offers fine foliage that highlights the delicacy of the Didiscus.
