Nigella ---Where I can purchase?

[yijiawang]

Hello, a friend of mine who wants to collect Nigella genus species, who could tell me where she can purchase plant or seeds? Thanks in advance!

I mentioned  the other day in the NARGS Forum that we see fewer of these plants nowadays, when they used to be very popular annuals.
As to a range of species, I suppose the commercial seed companies will still stock both the ornamental flower types such as N. damascena and hispanica  and the species bred for edible seed like N. sativa.

Thank you Maggi, I will try to contact supplier for seeds, Nigella is a very strange flower

I sell two forms of Nigella papillosa, 'African Bride' and 'Midnight'.  £2 each at www.specialplants.net.  Hope this isn't too late, Derry
