The USDA zone info for Azusa should be read to determine when it's possible to plant nemesia.

Since nemesia are not cold tolerant you must wait until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer before you can plant them.

The last month that you can plant nemesia and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your nemesia may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your nemesia indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.
