Nemesia Carnival Mixed Seeds

 

Nemesia strumosa is a cheerful blend of compact, bushy plants that produce a kaleidoscope of colourful, fragrant blooms in shades of pink, red, yellow, orange, and white.

 

The Latin name Nemesia is derived from the Greek word "nemos," meaning "grove," reflecting its preference for sunny, open spaces. This charming annual is perfect for borders, rockeries, window boxes, and containers, where it adds a vibrant burst of long-lasting colour.

 

Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, Nemesia Carnival Mixed grows to a tidy height of 20-30 cm. Its flowers bloom prolifically from late spring through summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.

 

Easy to grow and care for, it’s an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels.

 

A delightful addition to any garden, this mix is ideal for brightening up outdoor spaces with minimal effort.

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots. Harden off and plant outdoors after the last frost, spacing 15-20 cm apart.
