Description

A gorgeous mixture of Love-in-a-Mist, with spectacular double blooms in a delightful blend of rose, pink and white bicolour shades followed by intriguing seed pods. Nigella Mulberry Rose is eye-catching sown as drifts in borders, or used as a cut flower.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds from April to May or August to September. Sow seeds outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sow 6mm (¼in) deep, in rows 30cm (12in) apart.

For spring/summer flowering pot plants sow seeds in a cool greenhouse or conservatory in late summer/early autumn. Grow on cool conditions in full light and water sparingly.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 15cm (6in) apart.
