Description

The listing, Black Cumin- 15+ Seeds has ended.

Nigella sativa, true black cumin, grows to a height of 6 to 12 inches; bears milky white apical blossoms that turn bluish-green near the tip, containing a coarse ball-like fruit capsule that develops after the plant blossoms; and a crown of five protruding beak-like spikes. Ground nigella seeds emit a fragrance vaguely similar to fennel, anise or nutmeg, which some compare to camphor or cajaput. They taste slightly bitter, spicy and piquant and have been used as a substitute for caraway and black pepper in bread making and at the table.

I am not sure about the taste as I do not grow this herb myself. I think it would do okay in a conatiner. You just might have to do a bit of transplanting until you find the size it likes best.
