Product Description
With its delightful deep violet and gold flowers, the sweetly scented, two-tone 'Rhubarb and Custard' flowers of this choice Nemesia appear from early summer and will just keep coming right up until November - that's six whole months of colour. The strong and heady perfume is wonderful on a warm summer's day, so be sure to grow in a place where you can appreciate the fragrance.
With a neat , semi-upright habit, 'Rhubarb and Custard' is perfect for taller containers and even hanging baskets where the flowers will tower over the edges and create a dense, floriferous display. Versatile, they make a lovely border plant too, especially when planted en-masse where they'll create a real impact.
Easy to grow Nemesia thrives in cool or hot weather and tolerates a little frost too, so stays in bloom much longer than many summer plants.
Supplied as 6 x plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.

Plant Information
Care Guide
Unpack plugs immediately, and stand them in water for an hour.
Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post but they’ll quickly recover. Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on before planting out when there is no longer a danger of frost.
Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
Plant approx. 20cm (8”) apart to allow them room to grow. Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
Deadhead when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.

The 19th was started on the 20th not the 29th. The plugs were delivered on the 9th of April, and although the Easter break was in the middle, the time of delivery does seem a little excessive, I have doubts that Royal Mail are at fault. My previous order from the 19th arrived over a week before. The delay is probably the cause of the poor quality of some of the plugs.
Product:
As above.
