Third year growing this annual. Dollar Seed seed for 2022. Short-lived plant. Plant these again for the fall. ALSO: when they resow, you'll have blooms through fall.
Sow when the soil temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The plant thrives in temperatures between 65 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fertilizer: Add a general-purpose fertilizer to the soil when planting Nigella damascena, and then fertilize it once a month afterward.
Don't need to cover the seeds with soil, but DO pressed down slightly. Kept soil moist. 2-3 weeks to germinate. Does fine WSown. Best sows in a sunny location. Thin seedlings so they're spaced 2 to 9 inches apart.
