HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in early spring after the last chance of frost. Plant the Nigella Damascena seeds just below the surface of the soil, and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. For continuous blooming, plant a new crop every 4 weeks. Keep in mind that this plant does not transplant well.
Growing: Keep the plants watered, since they do not appreciate dry soil and soon wither in drought. Keep in mind that this plant does not do well in excessive heat, and may decline in the heat of summer. Deadheading will produce additional blooms, but also delays the growth of the ornamental seed pods. This annual may reseed for a new crop next year.
Harvesting: For fresh flowers, choose stalks that have reached full bloom. Strip away the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately. For dried flower arrangements, allow the seed pods to develop and begin to dry on the stem; hang the stalks upside-down in a warm, dry place until they have completely dried. For best results, leave space around each stalk for good air movement.
Seed Saving: Allow the large, rounded seed pods to develop and brown on the stem. As soon as the pods have dried, break them off and open them to remove the seed. Store the Love in a Mist seeds in a cool, dry place.
