How Do You Plant Nemesia Seeds?
Nemesia seeds come in almost every color imaginable, and some are variegated. This native South Afircan beauty has many species and works well in rock gardens, containers and often as a border plant in gardens. This cool summer annual is normally grown from seed and started indoors to give you a head start on your spring landscaping. Nemesia does not tolerate high heat and humidity well, but is grown in warmer areas as a fall and winter flower. Plant Nemesia seed in peat pots about 7 weeks before your last frost date. Wet the peat pot before placing the seed in. Cover the seed lightly with vermiculite. Water by placing the pots in a shallow tray of water to dampen the peat pot and then remove. The pots should stay damp but not soaked. Keep the pots in a temperature between 50 and 70 degrees and the seed should germinate between one and three weeks. Once you have seedlings, place them in an area that gets filtered sun or some light. Prepare the soil in flower beds by digging or tilling
