Diascia integerrima is one of the most widespread, toughest and floriferous of the all the Diascia species.

In the wild, Diascia integerrima is found throughout the mountainous areas of the north-eastern and eastern Free State, Lesotho, the north-eastern Cape and the southern KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg. Above ground the thin stems may look soft and the pink flowers dainty, but they root firmly into rock crevices and gritty soil on the slopes. Finding diascias on these high mountains flowering with geraniums, kniphofias, suteras and dieramas is a magnificent sight.

A delightful evergreen perennial, it is used in pots, rockeries, hanging baskets, to fill little pockets between other plants and in large sweeps in the garden beds.

Diascia integerrima requires a sunny position and well-drained, good garden soil prepared with plenty of compost. Although this species is more tolerant of dry conditions than most twinspurs, it still requires regular watering throughout the year. By the end of summer the plants usually look untidy and they go slightly dormant during winter.

Diascia integerrima is quite hardy and will survive low temperatures and heavy frost. If established plants are cut back they will shoot out afresh the next summer, but for the best display they should be propagated and replanted every year.

The narrow leaves are mostly at the bottom of the stems, with a few smaller ones towards the top where the fat flower buds hang like little bells.

While the bottom flowers open, new buds are continually forming at the tip of the stems and flowers are produced throughout the summer. Close-up these bright pink flowers are very interesting.

the flowers have two long horns or spurs at the back of the flower, which has given this genus the common name of twinspurs. The flower is shaped with a large drooping lower lip and four smaller curly petals at the top. At the centre of the flower there is a bright yellow and maroon concave patch called a "window".
