Plant Description

Dissotis canescens is a lovely plant for a damp spot or in a pot. The pink flowers are very prominent and quite beautiful. Even the leaves are attractive.

The best is to interplant with other small, marshy grasses or sedges  where it will be very conspicuous.

Full sun is a prerequisite for Dissotis canescens.
