Know before you buy
Yes, Miss Jekyll White is container-friendly. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the plant's height of up to 20 inches.
You can plant these seeds in either fall or spring. In milder climates, fall planting can lead to earlier blooms, while spring planting is ideal for regions with harsh winters.
Once the petals drop, the sculptural seed pods will remain. Simply harvest them when they are firm and hang them upside down in a cool, dry place until they are fully dried.
Yes, Nigella damascena is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, these are generally not a preferred snack for local wildlife.
They thrive in full sun but are adaptable enough to grow in partial sun. For the most prolific blooming, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Yes, these are heirloom, open-pollinated seeds. You can collect the mature seeds from the pods at the end of the season to replant in your garden the following year.
