Love-in-a-Mist ‘Persian Jewel’ (Nigella damascena)
Botanical Name: Nigella damascena
Type: Hardy Annual

Love-in-a-Mist ‘Persian Jewel’ is a romantic and enchanting annual that produces clouds of finely divided, feathery foliage topped with jewel-like blooms in shades of blue, pink, mauve, and white. As the flowers fade, they give way to striking, balloon-shaped seed pods perfect for drying. This easy-to-grow favourite thrives in sunny borders and cottage gardens, adding soft colour and texture all summer long. A true classic for pollinator-friendly and cut-flower displays.
