Nigella hispanica (Spanish Love-in-a-mist)

40 (60)cm, Spanish Love-in-a-mist is probably the showiest member in its genus and native in the western Mediterranean region. Nigella hispanica is an annual species and produces rather larger, rich ink-blue flowers above filigree leaves, later followed by inflated seed capsules. Unlike those from the closely related Nigella sativa, seeds from Nigella hispanica shall not be eaten for containing a high amount of alkaloids! Easily grown in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot. Sow after the last freezing nights in mid spring directly to the ground in the garden. VI-VIII.
