The Love-In-A-Mist Miss Jekyll Blend, 'Nigella damascena', has delightful papery-textured flowers with thread-like foliage. Love-In-A-Mist is a quick blooming, cool season plant with flowers that look great in the garden, and as cut flowers. The flowers are 1 to 2 inches with white, light blue and dark blue blooms. The Miss Jekyll Blend blooms in the spring for 4 to 6 weeks until hot weather arrives.
Love-In-A-Mist prefers full sun but will withstand some partial shade. The soil needs to be well drained and have average organic material. Spent flowers should be continually cut off to promote more blooms. Plant in the early spring, 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost or in warm winter climates plant in early fall. The Miss Jekyll is used for borders, dried flowers, cut flowers, and the seed pods look great in dried arrangements.
