In the United Kingdom, Penhow Specialist Nurseries bred the Sachet series. Nemesia 'Vanilla Sachet'™ is the white cultivar. Related to the snapdragon, their flowers are similar. This is a good choice for container growing, as it tends to spill over the sides with daintiness. This Nemesia would be beautiful paired with silver foliage plants.
