How to Grow and Care for Nigella

Nigella, also known as Field nigella, Field love-in-a-mist, Fennel-flower

Nigella commonly thrives in a variety of conditions, making its care relatively straightforward. Key care points include ensuring full sun exposure and well-draining soil, which are critical to its health and blooming. Overwatering should be avoided as nigella is drought-tolerant and sensitive to excessive moisture. Regular deadheading can promote prolonged flowering, but otherwise, nigella requires minimal maintenance.
