This multicoloured plants have flowered well in my garden and are now starting to set seed. Does anyone know if you are supposed to dead head or cut back to encourage new flowers. If not I will just remove them as they are starting to look rather tatty.

Be very careful they might retaliate! Yes

I thought the same old Meg ! grin

My nemesia are only white and purply blue, I didn’t know it comes in other colours.

I have lightly trimmed mine and they are sprouting from the bottom.
Some from last year have seeded in the paving, very pretty.
Mine are in yellow, orange and red shades, but they do come in pinks and blues.

I have orange and white plus the gorgeous pink and purply blue ones. I will get out there with my scissors a bit later off to my knitting group now. Thanks for your help everyone.

Nemesis made me smile. We have some thing called schizophrenia in our garden because neither of us can remember the proper name - or are too lazy to bother! blush

That's the one. I love them but I still won't remember what they are called so schizophrenias they will remain.

I call them Shitzus! They don’t bark though!
