Notes
'Albion Black Pod' nigella (Nigella damascena 'Albion Black Pod') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to wet soil of most types. It bears white double flowers from early to late summer, and bees visit them. The decorative seed pods work well in fresh and dried bouquets.
