& Diascia Apricot Queen 1 Seed Packet

Apricot Queen' is the first apricot flowered Diascia to grow from seed! Slender spikes of fabulous flowers emerge from a mound of small, glossy, dark-green leaves. This half-hardy annual is superb for rockeries, borders and containers, where it will repeat flower until early autumn. Germinate at 15-20C (60-68F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a layer of vermiculite, 1.5mm (1/16”) deep. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 14-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination. Transplant seedlings, when large enough to handle, into trays or 7.5cm (3”) pots. Pinch out growing point when 5 cm (2”) tall and again when the side-shoots reach 5cm (2”). Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for at least 14 days before planting out. Plant outside after all risk of frost, 15cm (6in) apart. As the flowers fade, cut the plants back to ground level to encourage a second flush.
