Now, we grow this Nigella variety for its flowers. Dark blue, whimsical flowers complementing a wildflower bouquet perfectly. Even once the petals drop, the unique design of this flower brings a unique touch to the design.

These seeds are originally from Johnny's Seeds. They were not produced here at the farm. These are the same seeds we plant to produce our 2-acre flower field. As I always order extra, I have repackaged the seeds into smaller quantities to allow you the opportunity to grow them, too (as not everyone needs 1000 seeds!).
