Nemesia also known as Cape Jewels or Pouch Nemesia are bushy, erect annuals, perennials, and subshrubs from S. Africa where they grow in sandy soils near the coast or in scrubby, often disturbed soil inland. Flowers are colorful, showy, almost trumpet shaped and are usually grown as summer bedding or greenhouse plants. Blooms from late spring to the first frost in mild climates. In hot climates, they are best grown in the spring or fall. The summer heat will result in die-back. They may also be a winter annual in frost-free areas. Some varieties have a pleasingly light fragrance, producing long lasting, numerous flowers in mild temperatures. No serious disease or pest problems. Root rot may occur in poorly drained soils. Seeds are wind pollinated.
Growth Habit: 8-24 in. tall, wide
Native Origin: South Africa
Hardiness Zone: 6-10
Environment Needs: Full Sun, Part Shade, Ensure the soil is slightly acidic to neutral, with a pH level between 6 and 7. If your garden soil tends to be heavy or clayey, consider amending it with compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage.
Growth Rate: moderate
Maintenance: While Nemesia can tolerate partial shade, it blooms best with sufficient light. Feed these plants once in the spring with a balanced time-release fertilizer. Or, you can choose a water-soluble fertilizer that can be applied twice monthly as they are actively growing.
