Nigella Delft Blue is a refined heirloom variety that combines elegant white double flowers with ornamental seed pod development, making it exceptionally valuable for both fresh and dried floral design. The plant produces fluffy 1¾ to 2-inch blooms on sturdy 12 to 24-inch stems, supported by fine, fern-like foliage that adds textural depth to garden compositions and arrangements. What distinguishes this nigella is its extended ornamental lifecycle. After flowering concludes around 70 days, the blooms transition into large, light green balloon-shaped seed pods that dry naturally on the stem with minimal intervention. These sculptural pods retain their form and color exceptionally well, providing lasting botanical elements for dried arrangements, wreaths, and craft projects. The whimsical pod structure adds architectural interest that persists well into the season. Nigella Delft Blue serves as a reliable pollinator plant, attracting and supporting bees and beneficial insects throughout its growing cycle. This makes it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking to enhance ecosystem health while cultivating ornamental beauty. The heirloom genetics ensure consistent performance with a germination rate of approximately 70% or better. This Non-GMO variety reflects sustainable seed production practices and responsible stewardship. David's Garden Seeds® packages these seeds in environmentally conscious materials that are reusable and recyclable, minimizing your gardening footprint. Whether you're building a cutting garden, supporting pollinators, or sourcing unique dried botanicals, Nigella Delft Blue delivers reliable performance and multi-season visual interest.
