Nemesia

Nemesia

Nemesia spp.

Description

Bears mini snapdragon-like flowers in a rainbow of hues and bicolors. Most cultivars are grown as annuals. Show off in front of mixed flowerbeds or combine in hanging baskets with petunias, Johnny-jump-ups and Calibrachoas. ‘Sunsatia’ is more heat and dry-tolerant and ‘Innocence’® is very fragrant. The ASPCA has Nemesia on the non-toxic list for dogs and cats.
