NIGELLA PERSIAN JEWEL MIX LOVE–IN–A–MIST ‘Persian Jewels’

Nigella damascena 'Persian'

2 GRAMS = APPROX 600+ SEEDS

An old-fashioned annual bearing unusually spurred, blue, pink and white flowers in late spring and summer. Its attractive light-green seed pod will turn red-brown in autumn. Frost-hardy, with bright-green, feathery and finely divided foliage, this cottage plant makes a beautiful cut flower. It is easily grown in average garden soil in a sunny to part shady position and self-seeds.

How to grow
Love-in-a-mist is very easy to grow. The plants do best in full sun in well drained, fertile soil. Sow the deep black, sharp-cornered seed about 4mm deep where you want the plants to grow, as love-in-a-mist does not transplant well because of the plant's long taproot. Seeds should germinate within 2-3 weeks under most conditions. Begin sowing as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. Seeds can be started indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting outdoors, but they should be sown in individual pots and transplanted with care. Love-in-a-mist tolerates frost, so is primarily a spring and autumn annual
