Nigella Miss Jekyll Double Mix bears wonderful soft coloured flowers of blues, pinks and violets which seem to float amongst the finely cut leaves. One of the most interesting shaped flowers you will ever see, both for its blooms and attractive fennel-like foliage. They provide a charming show of bloom during the summer months.

Love-in-a-mist is well suited for traditional cottage garden settings or to plant in a meadow where the soil is a little on the dry side and not too rich. Eye catching sown as drifts in borders, or used as a cut flower.

A hardy annual flowering the same year, a popular cut flower and useful for bedding. Once the petals drop, the blossoms transform into little fairy lanterns and the seed pods can be dried for winter decorations indoors.

Nigella seeds are traditionally used as a spice in Indian, Middle Eastern and North African cuisines, where their aromatic flavour and crunch make them particularly useful in bread and pastries. They are also used in curries, soups and stews.
