FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When can I grow Nigella in the UK?

Grow Nigella in spring or autumn, directly where it is to flower. It dislikes being moved, so choose the final position carefully.

Where is the best place to grow Nigella?

Nigella grows best in full sun and ordinary, well-drained soil. It is ideal for cottage gardens, wildflower-style borders and cutting gardens.

Why has my Nigella not appeared?

Nigella can struggle in cold, waterlogged soil or where seedlings are crowded out by weeds. Keep the soil surface clear and avoid overwatering.

Should I deadhead Nigella?

Deadhead if you want to prolong flowering. Leave the distinctive seed pods in place if you want to use them in arrangements or allow some self-seeding.

Does Nigella self-seed?

Yes. Nigella often self-seeds gently in a suitable position. Remove seed heads before they split if you want to control where new plants appear.
