Brilliant blue flowers and decorative seed pods for fresh and dried bouquets. Fluffy 1 3/4–2", star-shaped blooms on stiff, 12–28" stems. Uniform, vigorous plants. Accented by attractive, ferny foliage. Whimsical purple and green, balloon-shaped seed pods dry readily/easily. Flowers attract and feed bees as well as other beneficial insects. 750 mg ~ 300 seeds.

Plant seeds directly in the garden after average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 60-75°F.  Cover soil very lightly as seeds require light to germinate. Or, start seed indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date. Nigella is sensitive to transplant shock so carefully set in the garden.

When I read on line it read Nigella were Perennials. Then when I received the seed the directions To start growing them inside and then plant them after the frost. This tells me they are not perennials they are annuals? So I guess I can only enjoy one season of them?
