Mr Fothergills – Pictorial Packet – Flower – Nigella Love in a Mist Miss Jekyll – 500 Seeds

Named after the famous gardener. Easy to grow, delicate flowers that turn to attractive seed pods. Height: 45cm/18in Plant Class: Hardy Annual (HA). Habit: Medium, Bushy.

Sow outdoors, March-May or August-October, where they are to flower, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin them to 15cm (6″) apart and water well until plants are established. For a continuous display, make sowings at two to three-week intervals. Sowings made in curves, rather than straight lines, often create a more pleasing effect. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings. Flowers: May to September.
