Tips
Pests & Diseases
Nemophila is most troubled by damping-off, Botrytis, powdery mildew, and root rot in warm, crowded conditions. Direct sow into well-drained soil, thin promptly, and remove gray-molded flowers before seed collection. Once cool-season plants collapse in heat, replace them rather than repeatedly watering declining crowns.
Nemophila can attract aphids, thrips, spider mites, Japanese beetles, and slugs. Scout flowers and new growth regularly, handpick when practical, and protect beneficial insects with targeted controls.

Its Role in the Native Ecosystem
Five Spot adds low-growing spring flowers that help feed early-active native bees. This annual fills seasonal openings rather than forming a permanent woody layer. Allowing some plants to finish their seed cycle helps renew the display, while later-blooming native flowers can continue the food supply after it fades.
