Nemesia is a charming cool-season annual with pretty little snapdragon-like flowers, often fragrant, that bloom in a wide range of colors. It does best in spring and fall (winter in mild-winter climates), though some varieties have better heat-tolerance than others. In cool-summer areas, such as the Pacific Northwest, nemesia will continue to bloom right through the summer into fall. Nemesia prefers moist, well-drained soil that's rich in organic matter.
Create a garden -- or container -- of fragrant delights by pairing nemesia with scented dianthus varieties.
SnapdragonCombine mounding nemesia with soft shades of upright snapdragon for a lovely spring combination.
PansyCharming violas mix beautifully with nemesias, especially the smaller-flowering types.
