Often known as love-in-the-mist, this nigella spray features delicate blue petals surrounded by fine, feathery foliage that creates a soft, airy effect. The detail is remarkable — it genuinely looks freshly picked from a cottage garden border.

Light and graceful, it works as a textural layer in mixed bouquets, adding movement and depth without overwhelming bolder flowers. Pair it with cornflowers, cosmos and snapdragons for a meadow feel, or tuck it into white and green arrangements for a subtle pop of colour. Three to five stems create a beautiful wild-gathered look.

All the romance of a summer garden, none of the deadheading.
