Description: Love in a Mist MISS JEKYLL DOUBLE Mix Nigella Cottage Garden Non-GMO 200 SeedsNo Fillers – Pure Seed – Non-GMO – Safe Seed PledgePRODUCT DESCRIPTION Love in a Mist Seeds - Mixed Colors Nigella damascena Annual; Grows 18-24 Inches Hardy, easy to grow wildflower Adaptable to both sun and partial shade A lovely mix of delicate blue, pink and white blooms, Love in a Mist is a summer blooming annual. Adaptable to full sun or partial shade, but be sure to keep it moist Native to rocky areas of North Africa and southern Europe, Nigella has a long season of interest. Let me explain: Not only is love-in-a mist absolutely easy to start by sowing seeds directly into the soil in the spring but also it rewards the garden during the cool months with interesting flowers to cut. And if you can resist the urge to harvest, you get quirky seed pods when summer starts heating up. Love-in-the-mist grows upright to heights of from one to two feet and produces flowers in cooling shades of white, blue, pink and purple. While I admire all the different varieties (more than 15 are widely available), my favorite is the traditional ‘Miss Jekyll Indigo’, with its rich blue blooms that float over the finely cut leaves. Cheat Sheet Love-in-a-mist looks charming in a loose cottage, meadow, or cutting garden. You can also use this annual in a container planting where the fennel-like foliage adds texture and contrast to bolder leaves like lamb’s ear or Bergenia. Nigella is the perfect annual to sow over spring bulbs.Instead of unattractive bare spaces after bulbs finish blooming, you will see “love” in their place. Love-in-a-mist is a standout cut flower. Also, the horned, pod-shaped seed heads are marvelous in fresh or dried arrangements.

These seeds need a period of cold stratification for successful germination. Best results are obtained when the seeds are kept warm and moist for 2 weeks followed by temperatures of 33-35°F for 4-6 weeks or until germination starts. Love-in-a-mist is a prolific re-seeder. One packet will start your obsession and then you can redeem your rewards for years to come. Tip: Harvest the seed pods while still firm and before they split open; hang upside down in a cool, dark place. In the spring, sow your seeds about 1/8-inch deep in a spot that gets full to part sun and keep the soil moist until sprouts appear in from two to three weeks. After it gets going, this annual takes average to little water. Love-in-a-mist does not transplant well because of its long taproot; sow seeds directly in a prepared planting bed or container. Few pests or problems afflict this annual. Actually, this honeybee attraction is a trouble-free plant that appreciates a little neglect. And while deadheading will prolong flowering, it also will prevent the plant from developing decorative seed pods, so it is best to let this ornamental alone. Additional Planting Instructions:DAYS TO GERMINATION:10-14 days at 60-65°F (16-18°C). SOWING:Sow 3-4 times every 2-3 weeks early in season for continuous flower/pod production. Direct seed (recommended) — Sow in early spring when soil temperatures reach 60°F (16°C). Fall sow where winters are mild. Cover lightly with soil as light is required for germination. Transplant — Sow 4-6 weeks before last frost. Plants are sensitive to root disturbance. LIGHT PREFERENCE:Sun. SOIL REQUIREMENTS:Average soil with good drainage. PLANT SPACING:2-9".
