Nemesia ‘Strawberry Sweet Treats’ is a charming, compact annual with abundant small flowers in vibrant strawberry-pink hues, often with contrasting centers. Its bushy habit creates a dense, colourful display, and the flowers are slightly fragrant, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies throughout the warmer months.
This variety is ideal for garden beds, borders, rockeries, and containers. It works beautifully in mass plantings for a burst of colour, as edging along paths, or in pots and hanging baskets for a cheerful garden feature.
