Diascia barberae 'Red Sunset' – Twinspur

This delightful early-season bloomer brings charming brick-red flowers to sunny gardens from spring into fall. Flower spikes rise above the foliage, holding clusters of blooms at the ends of their stems for a long-lasting display that attracts butterflies. Its tidy, bushy habit and compact size make it an excellent choice for containers, banks, rock gardens, and border edges, while the flower stems can also be enjoyed in small cut-flower arrangements. Deer resistant and adaptable to changing weather, 'Red Sunset' is a lovely perennial for mild climates. Give it a sunny position, moderate water, and well-drained soil to keep its flowers and foliage looking their best.
