Little Cherry Babycake Nemesia covers itself in small, deep cherry-red flowers on a neat mound barely a foot across. Nemesia hybrid Babycake 'Little Cherry' arrives as a live 4-inch plant already showing color.

This is a front-row plant: window boxes, mixed containers, the lip of a hanging basket where it can lean out over the edge, or a tight ribbon of color along a path. It keeps flowering from spring through fall in sun or part shade so long as the soil stays lightly moist, and the compact habit means it never bullies whatever you plant beside it.

Fun fact: Nemesia is South African by birth, and those small two-lipped flowers are exactly why gardeners keep calling it a miniature snapdragon — a resemblance, not a relation.
