NIGELLA DAMESCENA · LOVE IN A PUFF
Grown primarily for its dark textural seed pods, it also has beautiful light and airy white flowers - they just come in go in such a hurry they're harder to keep up with. But when everything that gets missed becomes a usable, dryable seed pod it's kinda the best of both worlds!

GROWING
Nigella grow best when started while it's still quite cool, so it's best to sow them in Autumn or Early Spring.
Can be transplanted carefully if not let get root bound - soil blocks are great for transplanting plants which prefer to be direct sown.
