Super productive variety
Easy to grow
Lovely as a soft colour jumble in the cutting garden and the vase
Nigellas are the classic cottage garden annual, which makes a fabulous cut flower and filler foliage for any vase.
Nigella seeds are used widely in Indian cooking, they are strongly aromatic and great added to rice dishes, flatbreads and curries.
