Spanish Fennel (Nigella arvensis arvensis)

Description

There is nothing to compare with the fluffy, wispiness of Love-in-the-mist among annual flowers. The flat starry blooms are rich grey-blue with an upright centre of black. The seeds can be gathered and sprinkled on biscuits and cakes, or used in curries. This herbal annual flower is wonderful for filling gaps between other plants. Approximately 60 seeds
