A few months after planting, I confirm: a crush for these flowers that are still blooming in mid-November, smell deliciously good, brighten up my spaces with delicate colours. In short, next year, I will order them again, and even more to make beautiful planters!

Description

The 'Pink Lemonade' Nemesia is a brand new variety of nemesia that stands out for its remarkable floriferousness, the mauve to lilac-pink and pale yellow colouring, and the delicious coconut fragrance of its small flowers. Its small bicoloured corollas bloom abundantly and almost continuously on a rounded plant, creating a prodigious effect of pastel clouds in hanging baskets and containers. Its well-branched growth gives it good resistance to inclement weather. Place it in a gently sunny location, in fertile and well-drained soil.

Nemesia strumosa, also known as African Nemesia, is an annual plant of the Scrophulariaceae family, native to South Africa, with rapid growth. It is the origin of numerous horticultural varieties whose floriferousness and durability are constantly being improved. Created by the German virtuoso hybridiser of the genus Nemesia, Silvia Hoffman, the 'Pink Lemonade' cultivar is one of these fantastic new creations, offering almost continuous and fragrant flowering from May to October on highly-branched plants.

The 'Pink Lemonade' cultivar produces a multitude of charming small symmetrical flowers, less than 1 cm (0in) in size, half of which are lavender-pink to mauve-blue, while the other half sports a very soft lemon-yellow hue. They are centred on a golden yellow throat that is noticeable from afar and exhale a very pleasant fragrance of honey and coconut that attracts pollinating insects. Gathered at the end of sturdy, leafy stems, these flowers seem to float on a graceful tuft of 30 cm (12in) in all directions, with a dense, rounded, and upright habit. The foliage consists of small, highly-toothed, lanceolate leaves, greyish-green in colour. This well-branched plant is resistant to wind and rain. It is hardy down to approximately -3°C (26.6°F).

From the first days of spring, the vibrant or pastel colours of nemesias illuminate the flowerbeds of cities and villages. On terraces and in gardens these fresh plants, with their extremely graceful, dense and light habit, perfectly adorn hanging baskets, balconies, all types of planters, and even perennial borders, preferably in full sun. They are easy to cultivate in the garden and yield spectacular results when planted in containers. Use them also as edging in a mix of colours or in combination with geraniums, lobelias, verbenas, petunias, etc.

Note: Please be aware that our plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (conservatory, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being installed outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care

Plant your Nemesia Pink Lemonade in a sunny location or possibly in partial shade. They need a light, fertile and humus-rich soil and appreciate a fertiliser input. They do not tolerate high temperatures combined with significant humidity very well. You can plant your nemesias in a flowerbed or in pots. In pots, these plants must be watered regularly. Planting should be done after the last frost, in spring. In summer, during periods of high heat, it is important to prune the plant severely (10-15 cm (4-6in) from the base) between flowering periods to promote the formation of new flowering shoots.
