Charming summer bedding plants with delicate snapdragon-like blooms, bringing soft colour, fragrance and long-lasting seasonal displays to borders, containers and patio gardens.

Nemesia varieties are compact, free-flowering plants admired for their elegant, two-lipped flowers and vibrant seasonal colour. Their small, orchid-like blooms appear continuously from late spring through autumn, forming dense clusters above neat green foliage. Many varieties carry a light fragrance that adds an extra sensory layer to outdoor spaces while attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators. Plants typically grow 25–40 cm tall with a similar spread, forming tidy mounds that perform beautifully in borders, patio containers, window boxes and mixed bedding displays.

Supplied as strong, well-established 2L pot-grown plants, each Nemesia arrives with a dense, healthy root system ready for reliable garden establishment. Unlike smaller starter plants, these nursery-grown specimens already possess the structure and vigour needed for consistent performance. Professionally cultivated in high-quality peat-free compost at our Yorkshire nursery, they are raised under expert care to ensure balanced growth, abundant flowering and dependable seasonal colour.
