A painterly delight, Nigella ‘Delft Blue’ features delicate white blooms kissed with indigo-blue splashes, each flower a little different, like hand-painted porcelain. As the petals fall, balloon-like seed pods form - perfect for fresh arrangements or drying. With fine, feathery foliage and a soft, ethereal quality, this variety adds texture and movement to garden beds and bouquets alike.
Best for: Romantic bouquets, fresh and dried arrangements, naturalistic borders, cottage gardens.
Approx 30 seeds per packet
