Nesia Dark Magenta Nemesia

Nesia Dark Magenta is a named trade selection in the Nesia nemesia series. A 2010 Danziger trial lists Dark Magenta among the series colors and describes Nesia plants as compact, mounded, highly branched and floriferous, with shiny green foliage and large flowers. ## Selection and use The [RHS profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/317047/nemesia-nesia-dark-magenta-nesia-series/details) records the exact name as “Nemesia [Nesia Dark Magenta] (Nesia Series)” and classifies it as a trade name. The historical [Greenhouse Grower trial report](https://www.greenhousegrower.com/crops/spring-trials-2010-mimulus-to-osteospermum/) identifies Dark Magenta as one of four Nesia colors and attributes the series to Danziger. This supports the recorded series identity, without establishing a separate botanical cultivar denomination. ## Growing conditions Use as seasonal color in containers or bedding where its compact branching habit can be seen. For the genus, the [RHS nemesia guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/nemesia/how-to-grow-nemesia) recommends moist, fertile, well-drained soil and notes that most nemesias need frost protection and flower best in cool spring or autumn weather. The exact color intensity, mature dimensions and flowering dates for this selection are not specified by the sources cited here. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone moist but well drained and protect the plant from frost. In hot, dry weather flowering may finish early; monitor containers closely and remove faded growth if needed to tidy the display.
