The Best Cut Flowers, Fresh or Dried!
Nigella 'African Bride'
Spidery blooms add an exotic touch to garden and vase!
After the white petals fall, the giant black seedpod makes a splendid Everlasting.
Add a Halloween touch to the sunny garden with this stunning Love-in-a-Mist. The 1- to 1 1/2-inch blooms burst open from large, round buds all summer long, sporting white petals surrounding a prominent black center set with spidery black stamens. Great for cutting, they look terrific in fresh arrangements, and after the petals drop, the central black cones can be dried as Everlastings.
'African Bride' is an eager-to-grow, very easy plant, reaching 3 feet high in the sunny garden. It flowers freely and adds a nice black-and-white contrast to the bright colors of the summer annual bed and vase. Pkt is 50 seeds.
