How to Water
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, particularly during dry or warm weather. Nemesia dislike drying out, especially in containers, but avoid overwatering by ensuring good drainage to protect the roots and maintain strong flowering.

Plant Nemesia bedding plants in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. These compact, bushy plants are perfect for borders, containers, and edging, offering masses of fragrant, snapdragon-like flowers. Space plants 15–20cm apart to allow for healthy airflow and full growth.
