    I take cuttings from Diascia Rigiscens nijinski. I root them in a vase of water and pot up when they have a good root system.
    I am not very clued up on the genus. What one have you got? It's a bit late for cuttings now - can you give protection over Winter?

    Mine, quite a mature plant, survived well in a free draining border last Winter.
    I think they are quite tough plants,
