Questions & Comments

I have searched and searched and cannot find zoning for this particular plant, all that I can find is that it will not flower as well in overly hot weather. I've already got these planted so I hope they work in my 104 degree TN summer!

oh thanks, didn't mean for you to have to go thru all that! hhhmmm.... I wonder if you put them in pots and brought them in to a sunny window during the heat if they would bloom?? I know what ya mean though, East Texas here!

NO! they DO NOT like to be transplanted! I'd hate for you to waste such pretty plants, just to have them die on you. You should seed them directly in the ground and they'll do just fine. And I didn't mind doing the research, it was interesting. I'm kind of a nerd like that. Happy Bidding!

but they are so pretty I may have to try anyway!! I'm watching!

Apr 13th, 2011 at 5:16:06 PM PDT by

they are very pretty...that's why I bought them!

Apr 13th, 2011 at 6:02:43 PM PDT by

LOL...yeah... I'm a research nerd to... my dream job would be to have someone pay me to do nothing but research for them!! doesn't all have to be on computer, just as long as I'm researching a subject!

Apr 13th, 2011 at 6:10:54 PM PDT by

thanks for the tip....If I get them, I will just find a place in my yard and plant them! maybe I can find someone else around here who grows them and can tell me best placement for them!

NIGELLA DAMASCENA

( RANUNCULACEAE ) – LOVE IN A MIST

These charming, old-fashioned, hardy annuals have been cultivated since the late sixteenth century. Some common names include: love-in-a-mist and fennel flower. They are a relative of the buttercup, and belong to a genus of about 20 species native to the Mediterranean region.
The seeds and leaves are aromatic and have been used in eastern countries by both cooks and physicians, and used in India to prevent moth damage to clothing. Love-in-a-mist readily self-seeds, and is likely to pop up in unexpected parts of the garden.

CULTURE / CARE
• WELL-DRAINED, FERTILE SOIL
• FULL SUN
• GROWS 1-2 FEET TALL
• SPACING 8-10 INCHES APART
• GERMINATION TAKES 10-25 DAYS
• WATER DEEPLY DURING DRY SPELLS
• DOES NOT TRANSPLANT WELL
• FERTILIZE MONTHLY
• READILY SELF-SEEDS
• PROPAGATE BY SEEDS
• ZONES 1 - 11 (US)
