Latin Name: Nemesia hybrida ‘Nessie Plus’ 

The Nemesia ‘Nessie Plus’ is a vigorous, trailing annual prized for its profuse blooms and improved heat tolerance. Growing 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) tall with spreads up to 24 inches (60 cm), it’s ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and ground cover.

This upgraded ‘Nessie’ series cultivar produces abundant 0.75-inch (2 cm) flowers in vibrant shades of blue, pink, white, and bicolors, often with contrasting yellow throats. Blooms spring to frost, outperforming traditional nemesias in warm weather.

Thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining, fertile soil. Drought-sensitive—keep evenly moist for continuous blooms. Attracts pollinators while resisting deer and rabbits.

Perfect for spiller designs, pair with superbells, sweet potato vine, or dusty miller.
