Nigella, Delft Blue

Nigella papillosa [70 (flowers)- 85 (pods)]

Also known as Spanish nigella, Delft Blue’s white petals are splashed with a deep blue-purple color and flowers have an intricate deep purple center. Flowers senesce quickly and give way to interesting angular seed pods that can be used fresh or dried. While Love-In-A-Mist is truly blue, Delft Blue has a more purple tone but is equally delicate, airy and fascinating. An annual that grows up to 24”; space 6” apart.
