Love-in-a-Mist African Bride
(Nigella damascena)
Why we love this flower:
Uses: Cut flower, dried flower, pollinator plant
Pure white blooms with dark, dramatic centers make Love-in-a-Mist African Bride a striking addition to spring gardens. Its airy, fern-like foliage surrounds each flower like lace, giving it a fairytale appearance. After flowering, it forms ornamental seed pods that are equally beautiful when dried.
