How is this particular Nemesia grown? I can only see certain ones I can do from seed, namely the "Fandango" and "Sundrops Mix" varieties.

    ..they can overwinter, like these of mine below..  otherwise I've only ever bought them in Spring from a garden centre as small plants..

    I don't think you can buy seeds of Wisley vanilla.
    Although l've seen them described as such on sites such as Amazon and Ebay l haven't seen them on the well known seed companies websites.
    My plants  have overwintered successfully this year, but if you can get some from a garden centre you can take cuttings in the Autumn as insurance.

    How would you take cuttings of the Nemesia? Same way as you would a Geranium? Snipping out 1 of the stems?

    @Lewisium, yes, similar to that. Softwood cuttings.
    Depending on whereabouts you are l would take them around late July/early August, although others may advise differently. The main problem is trying to find a non flowering shoot, if l can't find any l gk for one that's just about finished flowering and just cut the flower stalk off.
    General advice here which l hope might help  :)
