This is a very hardy and truly perennial diascia. Many diascia die over winter. This one will not normally do so. It might look dead after a frost but it is almost certainly not. In my opinion, this is the perfect patio pot plant. It is compact, flowers profusely and flows gently over the sides. Some say, slugs are not partial to this variety but I am not so sure because I use slug deterrents and hunt them down.
If you grow this in a pot, each spring you should replace the soil.
Diascia like free draining soils and a sunny or sunny-ish position.
You can take cuttings in late summer.
