Fothergill's Nemesia Blue Gem Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Nemesia versicolor (syn. N. versicolor), a versatile half-hardy annual belonging to the popular Nemesia genus.
• Soft Blue Colourway: Produces a profusion of delicate, eye-catching flowers in cool blue and subtle purple hues that lift the look of any display.
• Compact Bushy Habit: Reaches a neat height of 25cm (10in) with a dwarf, spreading profile, offering excellent dense ground cover or a full appearance in containers.
• Shade-Tolerant Variety: Performs beautifully when positioned in partial shade, making it a reliable choice for brightening up more sheltered, dappled areas of your garden.
• Wildlife Friendly: Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, providing a valuable nectar source and inviting beneficial pollinators into your outdoor spaces.
• Versatile Garden Layouts: A hard-wearing option that looks superb when filling cottage borders, softening path edges, or spilling over the sides of patio pots and window boxes.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors in early spring for transplanting later, or sow directly into moist, well-drained soil once the danger of frost has passed.
• Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, particularly during dry summer spells.
• Pinch out the growing tips of young plants to encourage a more bushy, dense habit and a greater abundance of blue flowers.
