Stacey highlighted the Nemesia "Wisley Vanilla" in her video which she added to a planter-shaped wicker basket she purchased from Home Bargains. Sharing the find with followers, she wrote: "Adding some beautiful aromas to the garden run to Waitrose if you love the scent of vanilla." Viewers loved Stacey's recommendation as the video wowed viewers who were impressed with the bargain find. One viewer said: "I had one last year and it made one corner of the garden smell like ice cream - loved it. "Off to see if my Waitrose has these!"

But shoppers should be aware that while they can purchase the Nemesia from Waitrose's website, prices vary. The retailer currently lists a 9cm pot from £6.99. The flower is described on their website as: "Pretty pale pink flowers with a bright golden eye appear on Nemesia 'Wisley Vanilla' from May through to September. "A short and very compact cultivar that is great for adding colour to the front of a sunny garden border or in pots on the patio." It goes on to warn, however, that "winter protection is needed" for colder areas. Offering garden advice, the description also adds that the flower can be "planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio" once the warmer weather arrives. Waitrose advises: "Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier. "Feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form."
