Nigella seeds — love-in-a-mist, then jewelled seed pods

Nigella, or love-in-a-mist, is pure cottage-garden charm — jewel-blue (and white and pink) flowers nestled in a halo of feathery foliage, followed by striking, balloon-like seed pods that are as decorative as the blooms. This easy annual sits within our flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.

Sow at the right time for flowers and pods both — the calendar shows when.

Flowers for the vase, pods for drying

The delicate blooms and long stems make nigella a charming cut flower, while the inflated, papery seed pods are prized for drying — a distinctive accent among our dried flowers and a magnet for self-seeding through cottage borders.

Growing nigella from seed

One of the easiest flowers of all — sow direct where it is to flower, in autumn or spring, and barely thin it. It dislikes being moved, so direct-sowing is best. Give it sun and free-draining soil; leave a few pods to ripen and it will return year after year.

When should I sow nigella seeds?
