Common Name:
Nemesia ‘Nesia Tropical’
Description:
Nemesia ‘Nesia Tropical’ is a vibrant and eye-catching compact flowering plant, celebrated for its lively mix of warm, tropical-toned blooms in shades of orange, coral, pink, and soft yellow. This variety produces masses of lightly fragrant flowers that create a bright, cheerful display from early spring through to autumn in Melbourne conditions, with peak performance during the cooler months. It forms a neat, mounding habit, making it perfect for borders, edging, hanging baskets, and container planting. ‘Nesia Tropical’ thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a full sun to part shade position. Regular deadheading and light trimming will encourage continuous flowering and maintain a compact, tidy shape. Its bold colour mix and long flowering season make it an excellent choice for adding warmth and energy to any garden setting.
