Introduce traditional charm and fine texture to your garden with delicate, feathery blooms.

A classic hardy annual variety of the beloved love-in-a-mist flower, named in honour of the famous British horticulturist, Gertrude Jekyll. These exceptionally easy-to-grow plants feature unique, lacy blossoms that effortlessly transition into striking decorative seed pods for extended interest well into autumn.

Details:

  • Botanical Name: Nigella damascena, a traditional and highly reliable hardy annual.
  • Delicate Colourway: Produces abundant single flowers in soft, classic shades of blue and clean white.
  • Textural Feathery Foliage: Features fine, lacy green leaves that form a misty backdrop, adding exceptional texture and softness to garden layouts.
  • Medium Bushy Habit: Reaches a balanced, self-supporting height of 45cm (18in) with a neat form that blends beautifully into cottage garden schemes.
  • Sun-Loving Variety: Thrives at its absolute best when positioned in full sun, ensuring strong stem development and a profusion of summer blooms.
  • Pollinator Friendly: Highly attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinators, making it an excellent addition to any wildlife-friendly space.
  • Dual-Season Appeal: The elegant summer flowers drop their petals to reveal architectural, spiky balloon-like seed pods, which look superb in late summer borders or dried flower arrangements.

Care Instructions:

  • Sow seeds directly outdoors into finely prepared, well-drained soil in a sunny position once the ground begins to warm in spring.
  • Water moderately during dry spells, taking care not to waterlog the ground, as this variety prefers straightforward, unrefined soil conditions.
  • Leave the mature, decorative seed pods on the plant at the end of the season if you wish to encourage natural self-seeding for the following year.
