'Hopleys Apricot' is a charming diascia known for its compact, mound-forming to trailing growth habit and long blooming period. It is a tender, semi-evergreen perennial that is often grown as an annual in cooler spots within the UK. The plant features attractive ovate-shaped leaves that are a rich, dark green in colour, providing a lush backdrop for its graceful, warm and inviting shade of apricot coloured flowers. - Garden care: Divide congested plants in early spring or late summer. Protect young plants from slugs and snails. Trim after flowering. Protect from severe or prolonged cold, and ground conditions that are likely to become drained or waterlogged during the cooler months.
