Common name: Diascia Ice Cracker 'Ice Cracker'
Family: Scrophulariaceae
Genus: Diascia
Well, baa , these diascias are sure coming out in all kinds of pretty colors, I have not seen this color, is it new? Are you familiar with the bacopas, originally all I saw was white, now this year I found a red, it is another great plant for hanging baskets.

I think this made it's debut in 1998, it may be in the US under a different variety name (could be Ice Pole). This one doesn't trail so it's not really a hanging basket favourite here, it's never taken off in the same way as the trailing Diascias like Ruby Field and Blackthorn Apricot.
Yes, we have Bacopa here too but I've only seen the white and lilac. I shall keep an eye out for the red! Thanks for the notification :)
