Love in a Mist (Nigella) – Flower Seeds

Description
Love in a Mist, also known as Nigella, is a charming, cool-season annual with delicate, feathery foliage and soft, star-shaped blooms in shades of blue, white, pink, and lavender. After flowering, plants form distinctive balloon-like seed pods that are highly valued for fresh and dried arrangements. Blooming in late spring to early summer, Love in a Mist adds texture, movement, and a romantic, cottage-garden feel. Easy to grow and lightly self-seeding, it is a favorite for cutting gardens and flower farms.
