ABSTRACT:
Varietal denomination: ‘Diastara’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Diascia, botanically known as
Diascia barberae.
The new cultivar is propagated from cuttings resulting from the cross of ‘B8’ and ‘B6’. ‘B8’ is a white flowering Diascia having a spreading habit and large flowers. ‘B8’ is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. ‘B6’ is a coral flowering Diascia having a spreading habit and intermediate flowers. ‘B6’ is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. Neither ‘B8’ nor ‘B6’ has been patented.
As a result of this cross the present cultivar was created in 1999 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and Sarrians, France over a three-year period. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations, and this novelty appears to be firmly fixed.
This new Diascia plant is an annual in most climatical zones in the United States, only in zones 7, 8, 9 and 10 it is a perennial plant.
