Nemesia Orange Prince

by Maureen Sullivan on April 17, 2014

Full Sun. To 14 inches. A bushy, free flowering plant covered in spritely orange blossoms that subtly fade as they age, resulting in a palette of bright to soft orange hues. The flowers are reminiscent of small, open-faced snapdragons.  If flower production slows, pinch back the plant, it will quickly side branch and begin to set new buds. Nemesia prefers an acidic, evenly moist, well drained soil. Well suited for the border and containers.  We recommend amending your container’s potting mix with one part peat moss to each three parts potting mix.
