500 Seeds Love in a Mist Nigella damascena

Love in a Mist is an easy-to-grow annual prized for its delicate, finely cut foliage and striking blue, white, pink, and purple flowers that seem to float among airy, thread-like bracts. Blooming over a long season, it brings a soft, romantic texture to beds, borders, and cutting gardens and often self-sows to return year after year.
The blooms and unusual balloon-shaped seed pods are excellent for fresh and dried arrangements, and the plants work well massed in cottage-style plantings or mixed into wildflower areas. Sow seeds directly where they are to grow, as transplants can be fussy, and thin seedlings for best flowering.
