Love-in-a-Mist ‘Miss Jekyll Light Blue’, Nigella damascena, 100 seeds avg.

Delightful little light blue flowers, green pods with purple stripes, and lacy, fern-like foliage. An old-fashioned plant commonly found in cottage gardens.

Planting Tips: 
  • A cool-season hardy annual that prefers full sun.
  • Sowing seeds directly in the garden is recommended.
  • Cover seeds with soil.
  • Allow 10-14 days to germinate.
  • Thin seedlings to 6’’ apart once 5’’ tall.
  • Grows to 24” tall.
  • 65-70 days to bloom, 80-85 days to pods.
  • Winter hardy to zone 6.
Keep the Blooms Coming:
  • Harvest the central stem at almost ground level, just above the lowest three to four side shoots.
  • Future cuts should be made at the stem base.
  • Nigella can be harvested from the moment the blooms are cracking open until the seed pods have developed.
