About Diascia 'Wink Coral Pink'

Diascia × hybrida 'Wink Coral Pink' · also called Wink Coral Pink Diascia, Coral Twinspur · flowering

'Wink Coral Pink' is a free-flowering hybrid twinspur smothered in small spurred coral-pink blooms over neat foliage from late spring to autumn. Part of the well-branched Wink series bred for baskets and containers, it flowers heavily in cool to mild weather, prefers sun with steady moisture and reblooms vigorously when sheared after the first flush.

Mature size: 20-25 cm tall with a 25-40 cm spread.

Watch for — Flowering stalls in heat: High summer temperatures pause blooming and the plant fades. Trim back, keep moist, and flowering rebounds as the weather cools.

Indoor size vs how big it gets in the wild

Diascia 'Wink Coral Pink' reaches its full size within one growing season — there is no "long-term" size, just how big it gets before you harvest or it dies back. Indoors and in a pot, expect 20-25 cm tall with a 25-40 cm spread.. A pot, your light levels and a little pruning are what set the final size in a home, far more than the plant's theoretical potential.

It sizes up fast and once, racing from seedling to full size in a single season; after cropping it is finished, so size is a within-season question.
