Nemesia 'Wisley Vanilla'
nemesia
- Position: full sun
- Soil: moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil, or general-purpose potting compost for containers
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: May to November
- Hardiness: frost hardy (will need winter protection)
Pretty pale pink flowers with a bright golden eye appear on this Nemesia from May through to November. A short and very compact variety that is great for adding colour to the front of a sunny garden border or in pots on the patio. In colder areas some winter protection is needed.
Grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
