Nigella flowering like mad! Such an easy plant to grow and it takes care of itself in a sunny position. Self seeds too which I don't mind. 🤓

All mine have gone to seed but I want to move them to another patch, when can I cut the seed pods off?? Do you know?

I'll tag you in another pic to show - the seed pods need to be brown and split ideally. 👍🏼 @loopylauz

Really? I didn't know that. Do they go for the seed then? It's in the front garden currently which doesn't get much bird attention but I've collected seed so plan to try sowing out the back 😀 @linfoster

Here's one that's already ripened and split, and if you look closely you can see the black seeds inside.

The Nigella seedheads are almost ripe now. When the pods start to split at the top, empty the black seeds inside into a dry free container to store. Next year, these can be sown directly onto the soil for another great display 😀

Thanks @junebensted for the compliments 😊. Agree competely, they can look beautiful growing randomly in all sorts of places, and are so easy to grow in any garden.
