Description
The Organic Nigella damascena Mix is a blend of organic seeds. It consists of flowers in white, light blue, soft pink, and purplish blue on the typical airy foliage of this beautiful annual. The delicate flowers then turn into unique seed heads, in the form of round and parchment-like capsules adorned with very fine "hairs". Sow this delightful selection in rockeries or sunny borders, without worrying about disturbing neighbouring plants. It is an excellent flower for cutting. Foliage, flowers, fruits, everything is decorative with this plant that is so easy to grow!
Nigella damascena is an annual plant of the Ranunculaceae family, originating from the Near East, growing in uncultivated, rocky lands, roadside edges, and the most barren soils. This very hardy and fast-growing plant overwinters as a seedling to form in spring a beautiful clump of feathery foliage, like that of fennel, 50 cm tall and 30 cm wide. The Organic Mix selection is a blend of intricate flowers, in pure colours, ranging from blue to pink, to purple. Flowering occurs from May to August, depending on the sowing date. These wonderful flowers with slender petals surrounded by a lace collar are nestled in the foliage. They measure about 2.5 cm in diameter and are followed by silky round capsules, pinkish-brown at maturity, containing a large number of small black seeds.
Traditionally found in cottage gardens, the Damascus nigella stands out for its ease of cultivation on all types of soils as long as they are well-drained. This plant fits into many contexts, such as natural gardens, rockeries, or perennial borders, where it visually lightens up the blooms. It forms a charming duo with bush roses. Capable of quickly colonising empty spaces, the Damascus nigella effortlessly creates a rustic and vividly colourful setting. It blends wonderfully with other plants such as phacelias, Cerinthe major, sainfoin, Californian poppies, perennial flax or wild chicory, bringing a touch of naturalness and spontaneity to any garden.

Planting and care
Sowing the organic Nigella Mix is child's play. You can choose to sow in spring or late summer, as the young plants are hardy and survive the winter without damage. Sow the seeds outside, directly in the ground. Prepare the soil well to loosen and lighten it before sowing. Sow in rows spaced 30cm apart, at a depth of 6mm. You can create beautiful flowering pots for spring by sowing the seeds in a cold greenhouse or conservatory in late summer and autumn. Thin out the sowing to leave only one plant every 20cm. Love-in-a-mist enjoy the sun and tolerate drought well, as they adapt their life cycle to climatic conditions, flowering early in dry summer regions, and throughout the summer in cooler climates. These plants self-seed very easily in the garden, but not always reliably.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
