Nigella Sativa - Love In A Mist (Nigella Sativa) Blue or white Medicinal Herb

Nigella sativa is a medicinal herb native to the eastern Mediterranean, northern Africa, southwest Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Used in cooking, it is better known for its centuries old use in traditional medicine. Aromatic black seeds resemble fennel in aroma and taste something like peppery nutmeg.

  • Full sun
  • Seeds can be ground and used like black pepper.
  • Also known as Love in A Mist; robust and large-flowered variety with stunning blue or white blooms and masses of fine lacy foliage that provide airy net-like baskets for the flowers; intriguing striped seed pods balloon out and dry well.
  • Direct sow after last frost; spacing 30 cm.
  • Will re-seed; poor soil not a problem
  • Attracts bees and other pollinators

  • Growing Instructions for Bumbleseeds Nigella Sativa (Love-in-a-Mist)

1. Best Time to Plant:

• Direct sow in early spring after the last frost or late summer for a fall bloom.

• In warmer climates, sow in fall for early spring blooms.

2. Location & Soil:

• Prefers full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight).

• Thrives in well-draining, loamy or sandy soil.

• pH: Neutral to slightly acidic (6.0–7.0).

3. Sowing Seeds:

• Sow directly outdoors, as Nigella sativa does not transplant well.

• Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press down (do not bury deeply; a light dusting of soil is sufficient).

• Space seeds 6–8 inches apart.

4. Watering:

• Keep soil moist but not waterlogged during germination (7–14 days).

• Once established, water moderately—Nigella is drought-tolerant but prefers consistent moisture.

5. Growing Conditions:

• Height: 12–18 inches.

• Spreads easily and self-seeds if allowed to mature.

• Companion plants: Works well alongside herbs and wildflowers.

 

• Can be ground into a spice (Black Cumin) for cooking.

• Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
