Grow: Nemesia is a small bedding plant used as edging plants, ground covers, in mixed borders either at pots or hanging baskets. Most varieties grow to about a foot in height, but there are some that get as tall as two feet. These versatile little plants offer a wide range of flower colors, and some come in bi-colors. The flowers are two-lipped, with the upper lip consisting of four lobes and the lower lip two lobes. The half-inch flowers bloom in purple, pink, blue and white on plants with a spread of about a foot, easy growing with little care.
