Whilst the name of this collection refers to ‘little’ the impact that these tiny, orchid-like flowers will have on your summer and autumn planting is anything but small. Masses of blooms are borne along slender stems from May to October, so many they almost obscure the verdant foliage beneath. Each flower is illuminated by golden stigma at its centre - acting as a beacon for pollinators who adore these nectar-rich blooms. Furthermore, the ‘Adorable Diascia ‘Little’ Collection’ offers cascading mounds of semi-evergreen foliage which will beneficially suppress weeds when planted in open ground or cascade over baskets and pots for an exuberant display of blooms. The ‘Adorable Diascia ‘Little’ Collection’ comprises: ‘Little Tango’ with its intense, orange blooms adding heat to your planting; ‘Little Drifter’ – a salmon-pink and orange sensation; and ‘Little Dancer’ in bubbly pink tones for frothing streams of flowers. All varieties grow to a height and spread of 20-30cm and will readily adapt to full sun or partial shade. Provide them with moist, well-drained soil of any kind and a south or east facing aspect. These half-hardy (H3) perennials will flower their little socks off for you crossing two seasons for extended floriferous interest.
