My garden is just full of them… These all self seeded from a few I scattered last year. I absolutely love these weird flowers, and then the crazy looking seed pods. The bees love them, the seeds are delicious (nigella seeds) and the slugs leave them alone. So happy with them

Just lovely!
The seed pods are amazing 🤩
One of my favourites. Beautiful at every stage of it’s life cycle ✨
Love nigella
I adore them, too. I love how delicate they look in leaf and bloom, and the blue blooms are such a beautiful hue. They make me happy 😊.
👍 scattered a few years back absolutely gorgeous

I love them too! Can’t wait to collect more seeds to sprinkle in other areas of my garden.
I’m gonna get me some of these. Beautiful. Do they self seed or do you need to spread them?
Bloody adore love in the mist. It’s so pretty basically all summer.

I love how I find more of these little beauties in my garden every year. Have any of you got any white ones?
Edit: OP, I know you posted white nigella. What I mean, did these eventually emerge white or are they a separate variety?
Ah, I use them as ground cover. Love the flowers in bloom.. but they fade quickly impressive
