nemesia [Nesia Burgundy]

Will grow well in moist but well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic soil in full sun. Partial afternoon shade will make flowers last longer. If growing in containers add one application of slow release fertilizer to encourage steadier performance. Overwinter in a greenhouse or in a frost free environment

Pinch out growing tips to produce a bushier plant. Cut back in summer for a second flush of flowering, alternatively trim off spent flowers to promote continuous flowering

Propagate by seed and softwood cuttings in spring or late summer

Generally pest free but can be affected by aphids

Generally disease free but can be affected by root and foot rot in very wet conditions
