Nigella Hispanica Cut Flower Seeds

Product Description

Nigella hispanica is fast, easy to grow hardy annual that makes a pretty fresh cut flower (lasts 7-10 days in a vase) or a sculptural dried seed pod.

It grows to 30-40cm and flowers from June to August and is best sown direct as it dislikes being transplanted. Nigella hispanica is loved by bees & beneficial insects.

Autumn sown seed will germinate to produce small plants that will overwinter and flower late spring to early summer. Spring sowings will flower the same year.
