Nemesia is a genus of annual and perennial flowering plants known for their colorful and fragrant blooms. These plants typically grow in compact mounds and produce clusters of small, tubular flowers that come in various shades of pink, purple, yellow, orange, and white. Nemesia flowers often have a sweet scent, making them attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Nemesia is commonly used in containers, hanging baskets, and borders to add color and fragrance to gardens and outdoor spaces.
