Nemophila Baby Blue Eyes
Nemophila Baby Blue Eyes is a charming annual that has dainty, sky-blue flowers with white centres, like a reflection of a clear summer’s day–and now you can grow your own, with Mr Fothergill’s Seeds. Compact and low-growing, it has a spreading habit, only reaching a height of approximately 15cm. Use it to add a soft, trailing effect to hanging baskets or to fill gaps in rockeries with a carpet of colour.
Its delicate petals are perfect for creating a serene cottage garden look or for brightening container displays. Nemophila Baby Blue Eyes softens hard edges in your outdoor space and looks particularly stunning when paired with tulip bulbs or other spring flowers. Flourishing in sunny, well-drained conditions–but dry tolerant, too–Nemophilia looks good without demanding much.
Plant these seeds to enjoy them throughout the warmer months. Explore Mr Fothergill’s full range of flower seeds and new seeds to pair with Nemophila Baby Blue Eyes seeds for a garden bursting with colour, or our RHS flower grow kits to get them off to a good start.

How To Grow
How to Grow
Sow Nemophila Baby Blue Eyes seeds thinly, about 5mm (0.25in) deep, in their flowering position. Keep the soil moist as they germinate. Once the seedlings have grown, thin them out to 10cm (4in) apart to allow space for healthy growth. To extend the flowering season, make 2 or 3 sowings at intervals. After flowering, remove deadheads regularly to encourage the plant to grow more flowers. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every few weeks to support growth. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Nemophila does well in hanging baskets. To learn more about growing hanging basket plants, read our blog on how to grow your own container garden.
