Love-in-a-mist is incredibly easy to develop. The plants flourish best in full light in properly drained, healthy soil. Because of its lengthy taproot, love-in-a-mist does not transfer well, so put the deep black, sharp-cornered seed 18″ deep where you want the plants to grow. The majority of the time, seeds will germinate within two to three weeks. Begin sowing as soon as the land can be handled in early April. Seeds can be started inside 4-6 weeks before transplanting outdoors however they should be seeded in separate peat pots and transferred with care. Because it can withstand frost, love-in-a-mist is more of a spring and autumn annual than a summer one.

 

Love-in-a-mist and the rest of the buttercup clan are among the most poisonous members of the clan. Nigella damascena, on the other hand, is considered to be just moderately poisonous. Nevertheless, never consume the entire plant. Precautions should be taken while dealing with small animals and children: do not allow them to eat the plant or put it in their mouths.
