Love-in-a-mist

Nigella reliably conjures up a relaxed meadow vibe in any garden. This low-maintenance annual catches the eye with its finely cut leaves, which resemble dill and create a fluffy green cloud. From this, romantic flowers in shades of blue, white, or pink gradually peek out. It thrives best in a sunny spot, and even a beginner can manage growing it. Since it doesn't like being transplanted, it is ideal to choose direct sowing into the flower bed straight away. If you need advice on preparation, take a look at how to sow seeds to achieve the best results. The plants will soon create a dense cover that will brighten up your summer garden. Furthermore, it will bring you joy not just during the flowering period, but long after it as well. After blooming, Nigella forms puffed-up seed pods that look very decorative in the flower bed. You can leave them to adorn the garden until the end of summer, or harvest and dry them for winter arrangements.
