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.
• Winter hardy to zone 6.
• 65-70 days to bloom, 80-85 days to pods.

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.
