Latin Name: Nemesia hybrida ‘Nessie Berry Delight’ 

The Nemesia ‘Nessie Berry Delight’ is a compact, trailing annual prized for its richly colored blooms and long flowering season. Growing 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) tall with spreads up to 14 inches (35 cm), it’s ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and garden edges.

This eye-catching cultivar produces clusters of 0.75-inch (2 cm) flowers in deep berry-purple with golden-yellow throats, creating a striking contrast. Blooms spring to fall, with a light, sweet fragrance that attracts bees and butterflies.

Thrives in cool to moderate climates and partial shade (morning sun preferred). Prefers moist, well-draining soil. Heat-sensitive—may pause blooming in midsummer but rebounds in cooler weather. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance.

Perfect for colorful combos, pair with white alyssum, silver dichondra, or yellow calibrachoa.
