Nigella ‘Persian Jewels,’ also known as ‘Love-In-A-Mist,’ features delicate, vintage-style flowers in shades of red, rose pink, blue, deep violet-blue, and white. Initially opening in a pale hue, these blossoms mature into vibrant, pure shades, each adorned with a wispy, bright green ruff. When viewed from a distance, the flowers create the illusion of floating in a mist. The plant showcases one of the most uniquely shaped flowers, complemented by attractive fennel-like foliage.

Love-in-a-mist is naturally found in rocky habitats in Europe and North Africa, but it adapts beautifully to traditional cottage garden settings. Alternatively, it thrives in meadows with slightly dry and less fertile soil. This charming and hardy self-sowing annual blooms in the same year and effortlessly enhances any garden. Beyond its garden appeal, it is a sought-after cut flower and can be dried for winter decorations.
