Didiscus

Didiscus might sound like an unusual name, but it hides an annual of delicate beauty. Its appearance resembles popular Ammi or ornamental carrot. Its disc-shaped flowers are composed of tiny florets that together form an airy lace. In the summer months, it makes a great companion to more striking species in the flower bed, bringing a touch of lightness to your plantings. Its blue shades, which are not very common in the garden during summer, are especially prized.

This plant really loves warmth, and you can sow it without worry even throughout the summer. However, because it finishes flowering relatively quickly, we recommend performing several successive sowings a few weeks apart. This will ensure a continuous supply of flowers for cutting until autumn. If you are planning to grow this plant from seeds for the first time, our guide on sowing or tips for direct sowing will definitely come in handy.
