Description
This 'Diascias Collection' brings together three excellent varieties from the Breeze Plus® series, prized for their early and prolonged flowering, vigour, and diverse colour palette. It includes the Diascia x barberae 'Breeze Plus White', with white flowers, the Diascia 'Breeze Plus Orange', remarkable in a vibrant orange, and the Diascia 'Breeze Plus Pink', in a fresh pink. These compact and semi-trailing plants bloom from spring until the first frost. They thrive in rich, well-drained soils with a gently sunny exposure. Their versatility allows for numerous uses, whether in hanging baskets, containers, rockeries, or border plantings.
This collection is sold in a set of 5 plug plants, which includes:
x 1 Diascia 'Breeze Plus White' with white flowers
x 2 Diascia 'Breeze Plus Orange' with beautiful bright orange flowers
x 2 Diascia 'Breeze Plus Pink' with medium pink flowers, both fresh and soft.
Diascia Breeze Plus® are perennial plants most often grown as annuals: they are sensitive to heavy frosts (-8°C), grow very quickly, and offer a long flowering period throughout the summer. Their slightly trailing habit is very effective in hanging baskets and containers.
They should be planted in spring, in a rich, well-drained soil, in a sunny but not scorching location, in soil that does not dry out too much to maximize their flowering. Combine the 3 varieties of this collection by playing with their colours. In a border or above a wall, place the most colourful variety, 'Breeze Plus Orange', at the front, for example with blue annual lobelias to temper its colour. The other two varieties, pink and white, more subtle, will be placed in the background. Allow for 8 plants per square metre, with an optimal spacing of about 25cm between each plant.
Diascias 'Breeze Plus' require little maintenance. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and apply a flowering plant fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season to stimulate abundant flowering. These plants are not very susceptible to diseases and most pests, making them suitable for gardeners of all levels.

Planting and care
Plant Diascia 'Breeze Plus' in a fertile soil to support flowering, moist to occasionally dry, humus-bearing, perfectly drained in winter to make it more resistant to cold. This plant dreads stagnant moisture. The further south you go, the more the plant fears the scorching afternoon sun and dry soils. It is helpful to pinch the young plant shoots to accentuate the bushy habit. Cut back faded stems after flowering. Diascia is hardy up to about -8°C, in a perfectly drained soil. In winter, outside mild climate regions, it is preferable to shelter this tender plant in a cold greenhouse or an unheated conservatory.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
