Nigella 'Miss Jekyll' Blue (Love-in-a-mist)

The classic. The one that started it all. Miss Jekyll Blue is the award-winning Love-in-a-mist that has graced English cottage gardens for generations — semi-double sky-blue flowers nestled in fine, fennel-like foliage, creating a romantic blue haze that seems to float above the border on still summer mornings.

An RHS Award of Garden Merit variety, it produces the characteristic balloon-shaped seed pods striped in purple that stand tall through autumn and are among the most prized elements in dried flower arranging. Listed on the RHS Plants for Pollinators.
