Nemesia hybrida

Nemesia hybrida from the Scrophulariaceae family, is cherished for its sweet fragrance and vibrant bi‑colored petals that brighten early‑spring benches and shoulder‑season gardens. This cool‑tolerant annual performs best in full sun to light shade, well‑drained and moderately moist media. Cool nights (8–13 °C / 46–55 °F) promote compact growth and heavy bud set, while good air flow helps prevent Botrytis on the delicate blooms. Ideal for packs, quart pots, and mixed containers, nemesia adds instant color and scent when many crops are still weeks away from finish.
Stick cuttings immediately, reduce mist early, and keep 65°–68°F (18°–20°C). pH 5.8–6.2, EC 0.8–1.0. Feed 50 ppm N, then 100–125 ppm N. Apply fungicide at sticking and week 2; pinch week 4 for best habit.
