watering

Diascia (Diascia integerrima 'Coral Canyon') prefers consistently moist soil, so it's important to water regularly. It is best to water Diascia deeply 1-2x per week. When soil is dry to the touch, give your plants a thorough drenching until the water drains through the bottom. It is important to allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Diascia can withstand some slight drought but will only produce flowers when given enough moisture.

sunlight

Diascia (Diascia integerrima 'Coral Canyon') prefers full sun, which means at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, preferably in the morning or early afternoon. This will ensure the plant remains healthy and blooms profusely all summer long. It is best to avoid midday sun for this species, as its foliage tends to be prone to scorching in such conditions. For optimal growth and flowering, Diascia integerrima should be exposed to full sun for 8-10 hours each day.

pruning

Diascia (Diascia integerrima 'Coral Canyon') should be pruned annually in early spring, before new growth begins. Cut back the stems to about 3 inches above the soil level. This will help keep the plant from becoming too leggy, as well as reduce the risk of disease. In late autumn, remove any dead or diseased stems and trim the plant back to the desired form. If the Diascia (Diascia integerrima 'Coral Canyon') is getting too large or sprawling, trim back some of the growth to the desired shape and size. Special care should be taken when pruning any flowers that are present. Pruning should be done with sharp garden shears or pruning scissors.
