2500x Nemesia Blue Gem Seeds – Nemesia Strumosa – Small Blue Flowering Annual


Nemesia 'Blue Gem' (Nemesia strumosa), a pretty annual prized for its abundance of tiny, bright blue blooms, will liven up your landscape. This small plant, which reaches a height of 20 to 30 cm and flowers in abundance from late spring to summer, is perfect for borders, beds, pots, and hanging baskets. Nemesia grows easily and blooms quickly in well-drained soil that receives full sun or light shade. It is a great option for early-season displays because it enjoys milder summer temperatures. Six to eight weeks before to the last frost, sow indoors; once the risk of frost has passed, sow outdoors. You can fill your garden with delicate, sweetly scented flowers that draw butterflies and bees, as well as long-lasting colour.


Growing instructions:


Nemesia Blue Gem seeds can be sown indoors 6–8 weeks before to the last anticipated frost (late winter to early spring) or outdoors as soon as there is no longer any risk of frost. Use pots or seed trays filled with moist, well-drained compost for indoor sowing. Seeds require light to sprout, so lightly press them onto the surface without covering. Germination takes 10 to 14 days; keep at 18 to 20°C. When seedlings are big enough to manage, transplant them once they have hardened off. Outdoors, pick a spot with well-drained soil that is either sunny or partially shaded. Late spring to early summer is when flowering starts, and it lasts all summer long, especially if it is routinely deadheaded. Nemesia has bright, low-growing blue blooms that are ideal for bedding displays, pots and edging in cooler areas.
