This annual plant has a very vibrant variety of colors that last all summer long. The colors include dark purple, white, hot pink, and light blue. They spread quickly and grow to about 18 in. tall. They are best used for back borders in gardens or along fences. They like partial sun and are very heat and drought tolerant. They do transplant well but need alot of water at first. Nigella is grown from seeds which spread themselves or you can spread them yourself. Large pods will emerge once the flowering stage is complete. These pods must be dried and stored for the following year or you can let them spread on their own.
