This fast-growing flower is best in cool growing areas with a well-drained PH-neutral soil. Amazingly, the seeds could sprout in just eight to fifteen days, which when you think about it, is no time at all! For best results plant them towards the end of April or later with a spacing of 30cm between each plant. Furthermore, considering nigella seeds usually blooms in just a few weeks, we recommend sowing the seeds at least two times between late spring and early summer.
