Nemesia was already among the showiest of garden plants, and now the Aromance series ups the ante with highly fragrant, abundant flowers all year round in warmer regions, and from Spring through early Winter in cooler climates. The sweet-smelling flowers of Nemesia Aromance 'Boysenberry' with burgundy upper petals, an ombre pink petal skirt, and sunny yellow hearts are borne on sturdy stems that continuously produce new buds as they grow.
Any sunny spot that needs a shot of joyful colour and sweet scent is perfect for Nemesia Aromance 'Boysenberry'. Hanging baskets, window boxes, feature pots are all perfect Nemesia, particularly in warm climates with high humidity. In the garden landscape, plant in drifts of colour, use as a low-maintenance filler, or a bright, aromatic border plant.
Plant into sunny, well-lit garden beds with well-tilled soil to which compost has been added. Likewise, when planting into pots, use the best quality potting mix you can buy and some compost or slow-release fertiliser at potting. Keep the soil or mix moist and ensure that it drains well. In warmer climates with high humidity, Nemesia do best in pots with good air-flow.
Nemesias are self-cleaning, so deadheading is unnecessary. However, the flower-bearing stems tend to bend once they reach a certain height, and therefore Nemesia do benefit from pruning. Cut the too-long stems back to their base above the auxiliary shoots, and within two weeks a new burst of colour appears.
In the height of Summer when night temperatures rise above 23 degrees, Aromance 'Boysenberry' may cease flowering. In this event, a light trim does wonders to increase branching, which will result in more flowers once the temperatures start to fall again.
A yearly application of fertiliser or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
