Nemesia
a genus of herbaceous, usually annual plants of the family Scrophulariaceae; less frequently, the plants are subshrubs. The leaves are opposite and entire. The flowers are in racemose or corymbiform inflorescences; rarely are they solitary. The corolla has a bilabiate blade and a short tubule, which is widened into a sac or elongated into a spur. There are four stamens. The fruit is a capsule. There are more than 50 species, found in southern Africa. Some annual species, such as Nemesia strumosa and N. versicolor, are ornamentals. Hybrid forms and varieties with variously colored large flowers are most often cultivated. They are used as borders, in rock gardens, and for cuttings. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Paint them with acrylic paints for a funky look, add some extra drainage holes and get planting with colourful summer bedding such as pansies, nemesias, lobelia or petunias. You can choose flowers to match your colour scheme - brick red nasturtiums, bronze and yellow mixtures of nemesias, vivid blue nigella (love-in-a-mist), rich orange English marigolds and, for the back of the border, tall annual chrysanthemums. It was only later I read that nemesias came from South Africa and that their natural habitat was in sandy soil on the coast. |
