Description

A cousin of our long-standing favourite Nigella hispanica, with soft-white washed navy flowers and the same spectacular crimson crown seedpods as the hispanica form. This is equally good in flower and after the petals have dropped.

Nigellas are the classic cottage garden annuals, which make fabulous cut flowers and filler foliage for any vase.

Care Tips

Keep picking but leave a few flowers to form seed pods for mixing with later flowers.
