Nemesia Mix Colours (Nemesia strumosa)
General Description
Nemesia (Nemesia strumosa) is a compact, floriferous annual or short-lived perennial known for its vibrant, multi-colored blooms. Native to South Africa, Nemesia has become a popular garden favorite worldwide due to its abundant flowering, sweet fragrance, and versatility in borders, containers, and hanging baskets. This mix of colors includes bright shades of pink, purple, yellow, orange, white, and red, creating a stunning visual display throughout the growing season.
Plant Characteristics
Nemesia grows to a height of 20–40 cm, forming bushy, upright mounds with delicate, lance-shaped green leaves. The flowers resemble small snapdragons, featuring an open, tubular shape with a unique two-lipped structure. Blooming from late spring to early autumn, Nemesia thrives in cool temperatures, producing continuous flushes of flowers in mild climates.
Taste and Benefits
Nemesia is not an edible plant, but it is highly valued for its ornamental beauty and pleasant fragrance. Its flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity in garden spaces.
Cultivation Recommendations
Nemesia prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil. Seeds should be sown in early spring, either indoors for an early start or directly in the garden after the last frost. Lightly press the seeds into the soil without covering them, as they require light for germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, typically within 10–14 days. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming, while moderate watering helps maintain healthy growth.
Uses and Benefits
Nemesia is widely used in ornamental gardening for its long-lasting blooms and compact growth habit. It is ideal for flower beds, rock gardens, window boxes, and patio containers. Its trailing varieties are especially effective in hanging baskets, where they cascade gracefully. Due to its adaptability, Nemesia is often planted alongside other seasonal flowers to create dynamic, colorful arrangements.
Packaging
The seeds are carefully selected and packed in moisture-resistant packaging to ensure high germination rates and long-term viability.
Shipping Information
Orders are processed within 1–2 days and shipped worldwide, including across India. Delivery typically takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the destination.
