Nemesia — 8 species

Most Nemesia are pet-safe. Of the 8 Nemesia species we cover, 6 are non-toxic on the ASPCA list and 2 carry a toxic or mildly-toxic rating. Even so, confirm the individual species before trusting it around pets.

Most Nemesia do best in direct sun. If yours stretches toward the window or loses its variegation it wants more light; scorched or bleached leaves mean it is getting too much direct sun.

Some Nemesia suit more experienced growers — several want strong light, sharp drainage or a specific seasonal rhythm. Check the individual species page for the exact regime.
