(Nigella damascena)

Love-in-a-mist may be the most aptly named flower variety we grow. Our population is a charming mix of pink, white, and blue blossoms that are beautifully framed by diaphanous green skirts that form the plant’s signature mist-like appearance. When a slight breeze brushes against them, the swirl of floating blossoms is enchanting.

Direct sow seeds early to mid spring when soil temperatures are around 60º. Germination will take 8-16 days. Thin plants to 6” spacing. These won’t overshadow other plants and can handle being a bit crowded, which makes them a great companion plant to fill in your garden. The fresh flowers and dried seedpods are stunning in flower arrangements and provide rich textures that keep your bouquet from looking flat. The fruity tasting seeds also make a nice edible garnish.
