    Nemesia (Nemesia fruticans) 'Innocence® Opal' produces lovely, delicate, pastel lavender, white, and yellow blossoms all season long. Hardy in zones 9a-10b, Nemesia does well with part sun or morning sun. No deadheading is necessary -- the blooms just keep coming. 'Innocence Opal' is a Proven Winners plant. The blossoms have a light fragrance.
