Nigella Love-In-A-Mist

$2.75

Airy foliage with odd blue, white, pink, & mauve flowers. Super cool seed pods. Beautiful cut or dried. Edible seeds.

JOY MAX QUALITIES:

  • Super easy to direct sow from seed

  • Despite its delicate appearance, it’s a very tough plant, drought and cold hardy

  • It creates tons of wonderfully weird seed pods, those you don't harvest can be thrown into areas of the garden you wouldn't mind nigella to volunteer

  • This mix includes many colors: blue, mauve, pink, purple, and white blooms

  • The blooms, while incredible, only last for 2-3 weeks so succession sowing is a good idea
