Growing Confetti Nemesias

Nemesia needs full sun and well-drained soil. The flowers on Improved Confetti are larger, with a deeper colour and a more bushy appearance than the original Confetti: improved indeed! It is hardy, but just to be safe, a wrap of horticultural fleece should be enough to protect them in cold winters, or you can move potted plants under shelter as the weather gets colder. Drought-tolerant when well established, they will nonetheless flower for longer if watered regularly in dry weather; don't overdo it though, as they are prone to root rot.

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

In Your Garden Design

Nemesias come in a huge range of colours, so are incredibly versatile if you are thinking of easy colour in your garden. Use this pretty pink as a confetti-like display by creating swathes of the plant together. Combine with Digitalis purpurea, or go the full pink with Dianthus 'Doris' or 'Gran's Favourite', perhaps adding a compact 'Lollipop' verbena or two and you'll have the sweetest cottage-garden scheme.
