Australian Nemophila is a perennial but is treated as an annual. The plants are dwarf, fifteen to twenty five centimeter tall, erect and bushy with cut foliage and small petunia-like or cup-shaped violet-blue flowers with a yellow eye. The flowers are produced in abundance. The Purple Robe is a popular variety. Nierembergia is ideal for pots, edgings, annual borders and rock gardens. The seeds are sown during August¬ and October in the plains and in March-April in the hills. The seedlings are transplanted into beds after about a month of sowing. The flowering begins after three to four months of sowing. The plants grow successfully in a light and well-¬drained soil and a sunny situation.
