Nigella Miss Jekyll (8 plugs)

Nigella Miss Jekyll is a classic cut flower known for its finely divided, fern-like foliage and clear, soft blooms in shades of blue, white, and pink. Nigella's common name, Love-in-Mist, borrows from the misty lace of bracts surrounding the delicate blue flower. Flowers are followed by distinctive inflated seed pods that dry well and extend the plant’s ornamental value long after bloom.

Nigella is easy as pie to grow, but not always easy to start from seed. Once planted, Nigella establishes quickly, and if planted a few inches apart in a patch, will fill in the patch nicely. They are a lovely plant to fill in bare spots in a perennial bed. If plants are left to go to the seed pod stage, expect to see lovely volunteers in your garden the following year. Plants reach 24 inches tall and perform best in full sun and well-drained soil. Suitable for transplanting in cool weather, this hardy annual is easy to grow, self-seeds readily, and provides material for both fresh and dried arrangements.

Nigella Miss Jekyll is generally suitable for fall planting in USDA zones 4 and higher (unprotected), and Zones 3 and below with additional protection from a greenhouse, hoop house or frost cloth. This is strictly a guideline and we cannot guarantee winter survivability.
