Sowing and Growing Guide

Miss Jekyll Nigella

Indoor Sowing

  • Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Fill seed trays with seed starting mix and sow seeds 1/8 inch deep.
  • Maintain a consistent temperature of 60-70°F until seeds germinate in 7-14 days.
  • Once seedlings have developed their first set of true leaves, thin them to 2-3 inches apart.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last expected frost date when they are 2-3 inches tall.

Outdoor Sowing

  • Sow seeds directly into the garden after the last expected frost date.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil that has been amended with compost.
  • Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep and 4-6 inches apart.
  • Keep the soil moist and weed-free.
  • Thin seedlings when they are 2-3 inches tall, leaving 6-8 inches between plants.

Growing

  • Miss Jekyll Nigella prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
  • Water regularly to keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
  • Fertilize once a month with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage prolonged blooming.
  • Harvest seeds when the pods have dried and turned brown. Store in a cool, dry place.
