Nemesia is a charming cool season annual with pretty little snapdragon-shape flowers ( most of them often fragrant ) that bloom in a wide range of colors. It does best in spring and fall (winter in mild-winter climates), though some varieties have better heat-tolerance than others. In cool-summer areas, such as the Pacific Northwest, nemesia will continue to bloom right through the summer into fall. Nemesia prefers moist, well-drained soil that's rich in organic matter.

Nemesias are difficult to grow well in many parts of the U. S. because of their preference for moderate daytime temperatures and cool nights. They detest hot and humid summer conditions.

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost date or purchase starter plants. Set out seedlings/starter plants at last frost date.

JB233 Orange Prince ( Nemesia Strumosa )

What bold, brilliant color from such a little plant! Start seeds for an annual treasure of color and long bloom season. Orange Nemesia flower clusters form at the top of erect branches. Nemesia Strumosa has a wide color range, but this variety is a striking orange. Nemesia plants like fertile, well-drained soil and prefer full sun, although they will tolerate partial shade. Orange Nemesia plants are wonderful in containers and baskets or edging the front of the border. They are not terribly heat tolerant, so in hotter regions, some afternoon shade would be preferable.
Nemesia plants produce many blooms along with a bushy growth habit, making them great for use in a variety of containers. Growns 8-10 inches tall.
