Plant in full sun (6-8 hours) with afternoon shade in warmer climates where temps reach above 70°F for blooms to last longer.

Keep the plant in well draining soil and consistently moist for the best results.

The Nemesia requires a little bit of humidity!

The Nemesia loves the cool summers of northern climates where temps don't top more than 70°F during the day and cooler nights. However, this cool-season summer annual is more heat tolerant than the rest. For safe keeping, position it with afternoon shade.

This Nemesia is a cool season annual in most parts of the country. As the temps warm, the flowers will fade so place it where it gets afternoon shade to prolong its lush blooms.

Fertilize with a root hormone to establish the roots or plant in rich organic matter that is well draining. Fertilize in spring after the last frost date in your area.

To transplant into a garden bed, water your plant the night before. Dig the hole twice as wide as the grower pot and the same depth (not deeper). Remove the Nemesia and center in the hole. Water in the hole and let drain. Add organic compost mixed with your native soil and mix. Fill around the plant and up to the top of its soil line. Tamp down with your hands to remove any air pockets. Water again around the drip line, then mulch up to the drip line of the plant to help retain moisture. Keep her soil moist as she gets established. She begins to decline in hot weather past 70°F.

Pinch back the stem tips right before blooming to rejuvenate with more denser growth and la onger blooming period.

Water the mother plant the night before to hydrate all the stem ends. After adequate growth on the main plant, take a cutting, using sharp pruners to remove a tip cutting measuring 3-5 inches with no flowers or buds. Remove any bottom leaves up 1-2 inches. Moisten a half mixture of well draining soil mix. Dip the end of the stem in rooting hormone and poke a tiny hole in the planting mix and plant the stem, then tamp the soil down around it to secure it. Water the plant often to keep the soil consistently moist while it roots. Place the cutting in bright indirect sunlight. After 4-6 weeks, the roots should establish. Acclimate the Nemesia to normal light conditions a few hours a day, starting in the morning light and progressing each day over a two to three-week period. Transplant your new plant baby into rich garden soil in full sun and consistent soil moisture.
