Notes
'Albion Green Pod' nigella (Nigella damascena 'Albion Green Pod') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full sun and average to wet soil of most types. White double flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees. Decorative seed pods follow the blooms and work well in fresh and dried bouquets.
Pairs well with Orange Hobbit sunflower, Nimbus sweet pea, and Red fescue.
