Nigella reliably conjures a relaxed meadow mood in any garden. This low-maintenance annual is striking even just for its finely cut leaves, which resemble dill and create a fluffy green cloud. From this, romantic flowers in shades of blue, white, or pink gradually peek out.

It thrives best in a sunny location and its cultivation is easy even for a beginner. Because it does not like being transplanted, it is ideal to choose direct sowing into the flower bed straight away. If you need advice on preparation, take a look at how to sow seeds to achieve the best results. The plants will soon create a dense cover that will brighten up the summer garden.

Furthermore, it will bring you joy not only during the flowering period, but also long after. After blooming, Nigella creates inflated seed pods that look very decorative in the flower bed. You can let them adorn the garden until the end of summer, or harvest and dry them for winter arrangements.
