Nemesia 'Melody Lilac Blue'

• Soft lilac-blue blooms with a gentle sweet fragrance
• Supplied as strong, healthy plug plants
• Compact and beautifully mounded habit
• Perfect for pots, borders and window boxes

Nemesia 'Melody Lilac Blue' brings cool, calming colour to summer displays with its dainty lilac-blue flowers and softly scented blooms. Unlike traditional nemesias, which are grown as tender annuals, this variety belongs to the Melody series, the first truly winter hardy nemesia available. Bred as a frost hardy perennial, it offers outstanding durability and the ability to return year after year with reliable flowering.

 

The Melody series was bred in Cambridgeshire by the same renowned plant breeders responsible for the Petunia Tumbelina family, combining ornamental beauty with exceptional garden performance. As of the popular series, this variety is known for its compact habit, reliable flowering and ability to create beautifully neat mounds of colour that brighten containers, garden edges and window boxes. The soft blue tones pair effortlessly with pastel bedding plants and make an excellent contrast against deeper purples and pinks.

 

Supplied as healthy plug plants, 'Melody Lilac Blue' is easy to grow and performs well in full sun or light shade. Flowering from early summer right through to the first frosts, it delivers long-lasting colour with minimal care. With its gentle fragrance, tidy growth and charming pastel tones, this Nemesia is perfect for gardeners wanting a soft, elegant touch for seasonal displays in pots, borders and smaller garden spaces.
