Mulberry Rose Love In A Mist Nigella Flower Seeds

Mulberry Rose begins in blush and finishes in wine. Dainty, many-faceted flowers open pastel pink, then deepen to an enchanting rose above a haze of finely divided foliage, giving even a small patch the romance of an old English cottage garden.

Compact 12–18-inch plants are easy to tuck along a path, into the front of a border, or among container companions. After the petals fall, striped seedpods appear like tiny fairy lanterns and become some of the loveliest stems for dried arrangements.
