Nigella damascena Persian Jewels Mix

<p>Love-in-a-mist is a delicate annual plant that offers an airy, refined flowering display and extremely fine decorative foliage! The most well-known variety is <em>Nigella damascena</em>, commonly called love-in-a-mist. It bears star-shaped flowers, usually blue but sometimes pink or white. You can pick its blooms for bouquets… or even create dried arrangements with its seed pods, which are nearly as decorative as the flowers! Love-in-a-mist is also known for its edible seeds, though these come from a different species, <em>Nigella sativa</em> (black cumin), not to be confused with the ornamental <em>Nigella damascena</em>!</p> <p>Undemanding and requiring almost no maintenance, love-in-a-mist is one of the easiest plants to grow! It thrives in well-drained, light soil, even if poor in organic matter. It prefers full sun or light shade. Resistant to diseases, it’s very easy to propagate from seed! It also tends to self-seed freely in the garden. It won’t smother other plants but fills gaps beautifully in borders!</p>
