How to Seed Love-in-a-Mist ‘Miss Jekyll’ Indigo Blue (Nigella damascena)

1. When to Sow: Sow directly outdoors in spring to early summer or in autumn for earlier blooms next year.

2. Soil: Prefers well-drained, light, fertile soil in a sunny position.

3. Sowing: Scatter seeds thinly where they are to flower, as Nigella dislikes transplanting. Lightly cover with a thin layer of soil (about 3 mm).

4. Watering: Keep the soil moist until germination, but avoid waterlogging.

5. Germination: Takes about 14–21 days at 16–20 °C.

6. Thinning: When seedlings are large enough, thin to 20–25 cm apart to allow airy growth.

7. Care: Requires little maintenance—water in dry spells and remove spent flowers to prolong blooming.
