• Nemesias are tender perennials, annuals and sub-shrubs that are mostly native to southern Africa. In the Europe cultivars of Nemesia strumosa (many of which are actually hybrids between N. strumosa and N. versicolor) are commonly grown as flowering cool weather annuals. These plants typically grow to 6-12" tall.
• Plants have lance-shaped, sometimes toothed, green leaves (to 3" long) in pairs on four-sided stems and two-lipped tubular flowers in short terminal racemes. Each corolla has a pouch or pinched spur at the base. Flower colors include cream, yellow, orange, pink, red, brown, blue (most colors except green) and sometimes bi-color (upper and lower lips of different colors).
• Season: Annual Sowing: March - April Height: 20 - 25 cm Blooms Time: July - September Environment: Full sun Water: Moist Sow under the casing layers or in the seed-beed in March very shallowly, or in April - May directly into the ground on approx. 20 x 30 cm. Easily grown in moist, warm, well-drained soils. Germinate within 10 - 14 days in 15 - 20 ̊C.
