Nemesia

These popular tender perennials are distinct from their half-hardy annual relatives producing lots of attractive flowers throughout the summer. They have become very popular recently because they make very good hanging basket plants. 'Celebration' produces bold purple flowers with a pale centre. The plants prefer moist but loose sandy soil. Extra watering may be needed in a dry season. They look equally good planted in the border where they are good for planting at the front. New plants can be raised from cuttings taken during the summer months and over wintered in the greenhouse
