Lacy Pink Didiscus (Trachymene coerulea)

Soft, romantic, and wonderfully versatile, Lace Pink Didiscus graces the garden with domed umbels of blush-to-rose-pink blooms held aloft on airy, branching stems. Minimal foliage allows the delicate flowers to appear as if they are floating, adding a light and ethereal quality to beds, borders, and arrangements. Standing up to 36" tall, they bloom steadily from mid-summer into early fall, offering a gentle fragrance and a rich source of nectar for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

With a long vase life and elegant structure, Lace Pink is a florist’s favourite for bridal bouquets, soft summer arrangements, and cottage garden plantings. Pairs beautifully with whites, mauves, and silvers for a refined yet effortless look.

HOW TO GROW:
Direct Sow (recommended): Didiscus seeds are best direct sown after the last frost, as the plants dislike root disturbance. Sow seeds ¼" deep and be sure to cover them well, as darkness aids germination. Keep the soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10–20 days. For a longer bloom window, successive sowings every 2–3 weeks from spring through early summer are recommended.

 

Transplanting (alternative): While transplanting is possible, it should be done with care. If you start seeds indoors, sow them 4–6 weeks before the last frost in deep individual pots (such as peat or coir) to minimize root disruption. Provide bottom heat to encourage germination, and harden off plants carefully before transplanting outdoors.

Pinching: Pinching is not typically necessary for didiscus, as the plants naturally form a strong, upright growth habit.

Soil Preference and Watering: Didiscus prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Blooms appear approximately 90–100 days from sowing.

Fertilizing: Fertilizing is not required for didiscus. It performs best in average to lean soil.

Harvesting: Didiscus blooms are ideal for cutting gardens, adding a delicate, lacy texture to bouquets. Harvest the stems when the flowers are fully open. For a longer vase life, cut stems in the early morning or late evening.
