Growing Nemesia 'Celebration'

Nemesias need full sun and well-drained soil. This one is hardy in most of the UK, but not suitable for frost pockets or exposed Northern locations, and has a more open habit than other cultivars.

The plants themselves are drought tolerant when well established, but they need watering in dry weather to keep on flowering.

When your new plants get growing, pinch off the growing tip of the new shoots to make them bush out nicely. If you need to tidy them in future years, trim them lightly in March or April.

In Your Garden Design

Nemesia are great for pots and hanging baskets, either in a mass by themselves or with other bedding plants - they will flower for months. Grow somewhere that you can appreciate its delicious scent. They come in a wide colour range so you can design them into your garden simply around a colour scheme, creating wonderful drifts of them in between other larger shrubs and plants, such as Philadelphus 'Belle Etoile' and/or Philadelphus Virginal, and a white Dianthus barbatus 'Albas' (Sweet William) which will be good contrast to Celebration's purple-pink shade.
