Nemesia Wisley Vanilla

I bought one of these plants months ago and its grown loads in the pot I've planted it into. Can I split and make more or will that kill it? It smells absolutely gorgeous and looks so pretty. Thanks

 

Not only could you split it you can cut a piece off and just stick it in the ground - it will take !
I have N. 'confetti' aswell as this one and they're as tough as old boots, staying evergreen in mild winters and shrugging off the minus 12 we had last year.

 

Really glad you asked that as I bought this as well and the smell is astonishing! I want to try and keep it going too.

 

Sounds like I may have to try and find one of these plants, they sound like they would be a good addition to my patch :thumb:

 

You shouldn't have any difficulty as i've seen them in all the local garden centres near here, 'Confetti' and 'Wisley Vanilla' are the only 2 that i know to be hardy - there are quite a few that seem to be sold as annuals, they're prettier but won't come through hard winters.

 

As has been said Nemesia are one of the easiest plants to grow from cuttings. One parent plant can supply you with a garden full! I have several varieties and all flower until hard frosts. I overwinter mine in the cool greenhouse.

 

My nemesia was wonderful all summer and well into autumn. Although not a harsh winter, I now have a stick like shrub. Will this come back or is it a goner?
