Stiff Twinspur, Bride's Saddle
Diascia rigescens (Stiff Twinspur) is a spreading semi-evergreen perennial of sprawling habit, forming a mat of light green, heart-shaped leaves and boasting erect spikes of two-spurred, salmon-pink flowers. Blooming profusely throughout the summer into fall, the blossoms are borne on stiff, four-angled stems that grow from the crown. Easy to grow, with a long season of interest, Diascia rigescens is a charming plant for the front of a mixed border, a rocky bank, a container or trailing down a rock wall.
