This Nigella has pretty, fern-like lacey foliage, handsome velvety blue flowers and eye-catching purple seed heads. Grow Nigella papillosa 'Midnight' by sowing direct into beds and borders where you want them to grow and bloom. Love-In-A-Mist is perfect for cutting and using fresh or dried in your home. Culinary note: the seeds have a strong aroma and spicy taste, they can be used as a condiment or spice to flavour cakes, breads and curries.Direct sow Nigella seeds outdoors where they are to grow from April to May. Choose a position in full sun on well-drained soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow seeds thinly, at a depth of 1cm (1/2") and cover seed with its own depth of soil to exclude light. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 14-30 days. When Love in a mist seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 30cm (12") apart. Alternatively, sow Nigella indoors from March to April at a temperature of 18-29C (65-85F).
