to inform future readers of this article:
Nemesia is all the way easy to grow, every year i raise it up and until may it's charming, but due to heat intolerance it readily scorches/witls within the first hot days of summer… There is a huge need for an improvement, i think the breeders raise up new varieties in british climates, that's the reason they fail with heat.
I recall years back from now i had one wonderfully scented (i named it springy scent) nemesia thriving throughout winter outside next to a huge sphere-trimmed dimorphoteca, all covered with blooms, i couldn't be in wintertime, they would have tricked anyone into believing it was june.

Great Article! I bought some 'sundrop' nemesia 5 years ago and fell in love. I've grown them every year, buying new plants each year. The old fashion romantic history of them was lovely to learn. We have an old Character house and I designed and planted a miniature boxed formal rose/perennial/herb garden this winter with a styrex japonica in the centre with 2 flats of nemesia in every colour I could find under the little tree. Everyone who passes by comments about how lovely it is! Such joy!

we picked up some of these weeks ago in our local garden center and they are still going strong in containers. I had no idea they were a relatively new reintroduction but I'm delighted at the background you've provided.
