| Cultivation:
Plant Love in the Mist in full sun in fertile well drained soil. Nigella is
easy to grow from seed. Seeds can be planted as soon as the soil
is workable. Seeds germinate in about 20 - 25 days with flowers
appearing within about 3 months. Be sure to sow the seed where you want
the plant... as they do not transplant well.
Nigella re-seeds
itself yielding you a new crop of volunteers each season. For
quicker growth purchase pre-started plants at your local Garden
Center. Nigella "Love in a Mist" flowers are excellent for
cutting and drying. Their large seed pods also dry well and are
great for crafts.

Midget, Cambridge Blue, Dwarf Moody Blue, Miss Jekyll series,
