Description
The 'Sunsatia Plus Pomelo' Nemesia is a recent variety of nemesia in sunny colours, unprecedented in the Sunsatia Plus series. Its large lemon yellow corollas with a golden yellow heart, slightly fragrant, bloom abundantly on vegetation that is both bushy and semi-trailing, ideal for hanging baskets and containers. This annual plant is exceptionally generous, capable of flowering from late winter to autumn. Its well-branched growth gives it good resistance to bad weather. Place it in a gently sunny location, in fertile and well-drained soil.
Nemesia strumosa, also known as African Nemesia, is an annual plant from the Scrophulariaceae family native to South Africa, with rapid growth. It is the descendant of numerous horticultural varieties, whose performance in terms of floriferousness and durability continues to be improved. The Sunsatia Plus series is one of these successful creations, offering continuous flowering from May to October on well-branched plants.
The 'Pomelo' variety displays large symmetrical flowers, with undulating petals, in a bright lemon yellow colour that does not fade in the sun, centred on a golden yellow throat that is noticeable from afar. Their pleasant fragrance attracts pollinating insects. Gathered at the end of sturdy leafy stems, these flowers adorn a graceful tuft 25 to 45 cm (10 to 18in) in height and 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20in) in diameter, with a compact habit. The foliage consists of small, deeply toothed lanceolate leaves, of a medium green colour. This well-branched plant is resistant to wind and rain. It is hardy down to approximately -3°C (26.6°F).
From the first days of spring, the vibrant colours of nemesias illuminate flowerbeds in cities and villages. On terraces and in gardens these fresh plants, with their graceful, bushy and trailing habit, perfectly adorn hanging baskets, balcony planters, all types of containers, and even perennial beds, preferably in full sun. They are easy to grow in the garden and provide spectacular results when planted in containers. Use them also as borders, in mixed colours or in combination with geraniums, lobelias, verbenas, petunias, etc.
Note: Attention, our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being installed outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
Plant your Sunsatia Plus Pomelo Nemesias in a sunny location or possibly in partial shade. They need a light, fertile and humus-rich soil and appreciate a fertiliser input. They do now tolerate high temperatures combined with significant humidity very well. You can plant your nemesias in a flowerbed or in pots. In pots, these plants need to be regularly watered. Planting should be done as soon as the frosts end in spring. In summer, during periods of high heat, do not hesitate to prune the plant severely (10-15 cm (4-6in) from the base) between flowerings to encourage the formation of new flowering shoots.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
