Yellow fennelflower "Transformer" (nigella)
New
Yellow nigella (fennelflower).
An annual plant up to 80 cm high with small flowers and very decorative fruit buds. Ideal for dry bouquets, cutting and flower beds.
Name: comes from the Latin word "nigellus": the grammatical form of the word "niger" - black, due to the black color of the seeds.
The seeds are black, matte, ovoid. In 1 g there are 350-500 seeds, which remain viable for 2 years.
Location: light-loving, cold-resistant, easily tolerate spring frosts.
Soil: prefer light, nutritious soils with a high lime content. They develop poorly on acidic soils. They do not tolerate excess or lack of moisture.
Reproduction: by seeds, which are sown in May in open ground in a permanent place or in greenhouses in April. Shoots appear on the 18-20th day. The seedlings are planted in peat-humus pots. Young plants bloom two months after sowing. Seeds can be sown before winter. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 15-20 cm from each other. Plants do not tolerate damage to the roots.
Use: in Moorish lawns, group plantings, borders, cutting. Unfortunately, nigella does not bloom for long - only about four weeks. However, after the flowers, no less decorative swollen fruits appear on the shoots. As soon as they are fully ripe, they are cut off together with the stems and dried, hanging in the shade with their heads down. In winter, they make magnificent compositions reminiscent of the past summer. If you want to have a flowering carpet of nigella for a longer time, you will have to sow it in several stages with a month's break between them.
