Love In A Mist Miss Jekyll Blend
Nigella damascena
Annual. Blooms in spring. 1' - 2' tall. Full sun. Delightful papery-textured white, light blue, and dark blue flowers with thread-like foliage. A quick blooming cool season plant with flowers that look great in the garden and cut flower arrangements. Blooms last 4 - 6 weeks until hot weather appears. Must have well-drained soil. Drought tolerant, but may require a watering during severe drought periods. Seed pods are very attractive and add interest to dried arrangements. Cut spent blooms frequently unless you are waiting to harvest seed pods. Easily reseeds; a patch of Love-In-A-Mist may very well come back year after year from seed, adding an effortless cool airy feeling to your garden each spring.
When to plant outside: RECOMMENDED. Sow in spring 2 - 4 weeks before average last day of frost. For continual bloom, sow every 4 weeks after initial sowing until mid-summer.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Special Germination Instructions: Seed must be only lightly covered to 1/8".
