Love-in-a-Mist Delft Blue
Nigella papillosa Hispanica

 

Delft Blue has white petals brushed with a watercolor wash of blue. The easy to grow plants pump out hundreds of flowers in a summer-long show. As the flowers fade, the central seed capsule expands into a deep purple crown. Excellent for cut flowers, both fresh or dried, they are undemanding and rewarding.
