Nigella sativa
FLOWER-NIGELLA-LOVE IN A MIST With its intricate flowers and fine-textured foliage, Nigella stands out in the garden. This delightful little annual blooms throughout the summer, & the seed pods are often used in dried-flower crafts. Nigella does best in full sun and well-drained soil. Self-sows freely, but not aggressively.
Sow seeds directly into a finely textured, well-drained garden bed as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Space seeds 5cm apart in rows 15cm apart and cover 1cm deep OR scatter thinly in a garden bed & cover 1cm deep. Weed young seedlings carefully & thin before they get too crowded. Difficult to transplant.

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
