The damsel in the open (Nigella damascena), originally from the Mediterranean region, has belonged in every cottage garden for hundreds of years. Even today, the summer flower with the eye-catching, blue - sometimes also white or pink - flowers is very popular for planting in mixed borders or for later use as cut and dried flowers. In terms of location, the Jungfer im Grünen is not particularly demanding.
The Jungfer im Grünen thrives best in the sun
The better the location, the more beautiful the flower
Jungfer thrives best outdoors in full sun with loose, humus-rich and well-drained soil. You can also sow the seeds in semi-shade and/or on poor soil, but the plant will not reach the size or the rich flowering as in a sunny spot in optimal soil. The annual spinster in the green flowers between June and September and also self-seeds very reliably - once sown, you won't get rid of this pretty plant so quickly.
tips
Do not sow the seeds all at the same time, but stagger them in several stages. In this way, the resulting plants also flower at different times and you achieve a longer flowering period.
