50+ Nigella White Flower Seeds-NIGELLA DAMASCENA-Love in a Mist White Flower Seeds- Nigella African Bride-Fluffy Annual-B500
Description:
Nigella is a wonderful cottage garden plant and a great filler. The airy foliage makes a nice complement to broader leaved plants. The flowers keep well when cut, and even the seed pods can be dried and used in arrangements. To dry the pods, cut while the pods are still green and somewhat fresh. Tie the stems into a bundle and hand upside down to dry. You can cut the seed pods in half to display the interesting seed chamber structure. Nigella damascena earns its common name of Love-in-a-Mist with a tangle of ferny, fennel-like foliage that forms a mist around the flowers. Once you see Nigella in bloom, you will always recognize it by its unique mist of airy bracts and foliage.
Love-in-a-mist plants bloom for several weeks, starting in late spring. If they resow, you can have blooms through Fall. Botanical Name Nigella Damascena
