Martine Tellwright has been actively breeding new varieties of Nemesia for many years, with the aim of producing tough, free flowering plants that produce neat and compact specimens without the need for growth regulators - plus new colour breaks and larger flowers with good fragrance. Her range of bicoloured varieties are amongst the most exciting developments in this genus for many years. Berries & Cream is the first of these to be released.
Nemesias are excellent plants for bedding and container gardening, or for use in hanging baskets. In milder areas, they can also be used in the perennial border.
Nemesias make excellent plants for impulse sales in container sizes ranging from 9cm to 1.5 litre, or in finished tubs and hanging baskets.
