hi, can anyone tell me please how to ovewinter a nemesia. it is in a hanging basket at the moment. do I take it indoors in the container its in now, do I put it into the garden, do I cut it down, or what? thanks
I overwintered a number of them last year. Some I just cut back and left in the pot in the garden. One out of two overwintered this way. The rest I put into a cold greenhouse after cutting back and all of those survived and are looking lovely this year.
I have to confess to not clearing out my hanging baskets last year and when I finally got round to it a few weeks back I found a little nemesia just coming into flower. The compost was bone dry and had been hanging on a north-facing wall since last spring. I've potted it up and now looking really good.

@Yviestevie, l resurrected this thread as l saw your comments about overwintering nemesias on another thread. I was just wondering, l assume that you keep them on the dry side, and l could throw some fleece over them if it gets really cold?
