Nemesia Sunsatia Cherry On Ice
These plants weren't great. None of them flowered and they died quickly. There were other nemesias in the same border that fared better and were magnificent.

Nemesia Sunsatia Cherry On Ice, also known poetically Mirror of the Elves, is a remarkable annual plant capable of flowering from the end of winter up until autumn. Clusters of bicoloured corollas, red and white with a yellow heart, bloom en masse, covering its dense and semi-trailing vegetation, for a sensational effect in hanging baskets and containers. This well-branched plant shows good resistance to bad weather and can tolerate light frosts. It should be placed in a gently sunny position, in fertile and well-drained soil.
Nemesia strumosa, also known as African nemesia, is an annual plant from the family Scrophulariaceae, native to South Africa, with rapid growth. It is the source of numerous horticultural varieties, whose performance in terms of floriferousness and durability is constantly being improved. The Sunsatia series is one of these successful creations, offering continuous flowering from May to October on very dense, wider-than-tall, semi-trailing plants.
The 'Cherry On Ice' variety has symmetrical flowers with undulated petals, half of which are red veined with black at the base, while the other half is immaculate white. They are enhanced by a small golden yellow heart. Gathered at the end of sturdy, leafy stems, they adorn a graceful clump measuring 25 cm (10in) in height and 30 cm (12in) in diameter, with a wide, compact, slightly trailing habit. The foliage consists of small, deeply toothed, lanceolate leaves, of medium green colour. This well-branched plant is resistant to wind and rain. Its slightly fragrant flowering attracts pollinating insects. The nemesia is hardy down to approximately -3°C.
From the first days of spring, the vibrant colours of nemesias illuminate the flowerbeds of cities and villages. On terraces and in gardens these fresh plants, with their graceful, bushy and trailing habit, are perfectly suited for hanging baskets, balconies, any type of container, and even perennial borders, 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 a mix of colours, or in combination with geraniums, lobelias, verbenas, petunias, etc.
Note: Please be aware that our 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 for a few weeks before placing them outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.

Botanical data
Plant your Sunsatia Cherry On Ice nemesias in a sunny location or possibly in partial shade. They require a light, fertile, and humus-rich soil and appreciate a fertiliser application. They do not 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 after the last frosts, in spring. In summer, during periods of high heat, don't hesitate to prune the plant severely (10-15 cm (4-6in) from the base) between two 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).
