A Garden Jewel from a Bygone Era – Bred for the Refined Floral Aesthetic of English Cottage Gardens

Love-in-a-Mist 'Miss Jekyll White' (Nigella damascena) is a stylish, annual summer flower with pure white, satin-matte blooms that appear to float gracefully among fine, feathery foliage. This cultivar was introduced around 1900 by the renowned English garden designer Gertrude Jekyll and is considered one of the most cherished white varieties of this traditional flower.

With its clear, understated floral colour, 'Miss Jekyll White' brings tranquillity and elegance to naturalistic borders, cottage gardens, and romantic plantings. It is especially striking when paired with companions in violet, pink or blue. The delicate blooms are ideal for cutting for the vase, while the ornamental seed pods are excellent for dried bouquets and natural decorations.

This plant is low-maintenance, resilient, and pollinator-friendly. Its open flowers offer valuable forage for wild bees and hoverflies. It grows to a height of approximately 40–50 cm, forms a bushy, branching habit, and flowers over many weeks – even on poor, well-drained soils.
