Growing from Seed
Cover seeds lightly- seeds need light to germinate. Direct sowing is recommended, as soon as soil can be worked. Nigella will readily self-seed, if desired plant in an area where they can spread.
Harvesting
Pick when flowers are showing color or when pods begin to develope. Love-In-A-Mist is an excellent dried flower.
