nemesia [Myrtille]

Grows best in moist, fertile soil in full sun, although it will tolerate light shade. Flowering stops in dry weather unless watered freely

Pinch out growing tips to produce bushy plants, and trim off flowering shoots when initial flowering is finished to promote more flowers

Take softwood cuttings from the ends of non-flowering shoots in late summer and overwinter in frost-free conditions or take softwood cuttings in spring

May be affected by aphids

May suffer from foot and root rots in wet soils
