Nigella, aptly called Love-in-a-Mist or Fennel Flower, is a favorite cottage garden annual that hails from Southern Europe. While Nigella is best known for its showy and intricate flowers that are held atop feathery green foliage, these plants will continue to adorn the garden with their truly fantastical seed pods for some time after the blooming. This fast-growing sun-lover thrives with regular water and will attract a flurry of bees and other pollinators. A prolific reseeder, it makes an excellent filler both in flowering beds and floral bouquets. Shop Annie’s selection of Nigella here!
