Do Nemesia plants come back every year?
As it’s a perennial it will die off in the winter but with very little care and attention will come back even stronger next year. So if you are looking for something that is beautiful to look at, wonderfully scented, easy to maintain and has a very long flowering period you really can’t choose any better than Nemesia!
Do you pinch Nemesia?
Nemesia will stop flowering if they dry out. They also appreciate a weekly feed of either Miracle Grow or Tomorite. Trim off any faded flowers to encourage a repeat flush. To encourage spread, pinch out the growing tip of stems.
Is Nemesia good for hanging baskets?
Follow our step-by-step guide to planting up a hanging basket with geranium, nemesia and petunias. This pretty hanging basket combination has a lovely cottage garden feel, and is ideal for sunny or partially shaded spots.
Is deadheading really necessary?
Although deadheading isn’t necessary for continued blooming you may find that you prefer to trim back some of the flowering stems at some point in mid-summer. Deadheading won’t keep them blooming longer. However, removing the flower stems once the plant has finished blooming will keep them looking tidier.
What goes well with nemesia?
The nemesia will flower non-stop over a long period if you keep deadheading it regularly. Once the display is over, the sage can be moved into the garden, or transferred into a pot of its own. If you can’t find nemesia, this display would also work well with annual verbena or purple petunias.
Which plants do not need deadheading?

- Sedum.
- Vinca.
- Baptisia.
- Astilbe.
- New Guinea Impatiens.
- Begonias.
- Nemesia.

Is there a petunia you don’t have to deadhead?
Unlike standard petunias that require regular deadheading to keep them blooming prolifically throughout the season, Wave petunias require no deadheading.
What to do with Nemesia after flowering?
After the plant has blossomed, remove the spent blooms with the shears. Also, as the plant begins to die back in the summer heat, try aggressively cutting back Nemesia by at least half. This will give the plant some time to regroup and very possibly bloom again in the fall.
