How to grow love-in-a-mist

Nigella damascena

When to plant love-in-a-mist

Love-in-a-mist is a cool-weather annual. NC State sows seed directly in the garden as soon as the ground can be worked in spring; in cool-summer climates additional sowings can follow every 3 to 4 weeks until mid-summer.

Love-in-a-Mist is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
