If you have an area in your garden you'd like to blanket with colour, then nemesia is the plant for you. It is a lovely small bedding plant that can be used for edging, in borders and as a ground cover and, in the right conditions, will produce so many flowers it's hard to see the greenery. As is shown in the bottom picture taken at the nursery of a hanging basket overflowing with nemesia.
Growing to a height of around 20cm, it's also lovely grown in pots, hanging planters (like the paradise planter) or any other suitable growing container.
At Awapuni Nurseries we sell two different bundles of nemesia seedlings - both mixed colours. Our bi-colour bundle contains seedlings that will produce flowers with more than one colour on each flower. Some are a mix of white and lavender, yellow or pink and others are just a mix of different colours. And our mixed bundle will produce all sorts of different coloured flowers including orange, white, red and pink.
So grab some nemesia seedlings from your local Bunnings, The Warehouse or supermarket.
Better still, head to our online shop and get the seedlings delivered straight to your door. Purchase six or more items and get free delivery to a non-rural address or just $4 to a rural address.
Wherever you decide to plant your nemesia, try to ensure the soil is rich and moist and that the plants will be mostly in full sun to part shade. Then simply plant your seedlings around 15cm apart from each other.
In just five to six weeks you can expect a beautiful array of different coloured flowers in your chosen garden bed or container.
