Nigella 'Delft Blue'

Marian title- Lady in the Shade

Delft Blue is a beautiful variety of Nigella papillosa named after the blue and white ‘Delftware’ ceramic dishes originating in the Netherlands. It is easy to see how the flower got its name. Also known as Love-in-a-Mist, this plant is a wonderful addition to any garden and makes for stunning dried arrangements.

Blue is Mary’s signature color. This delightful Marian title of ‘love-in-a-mist’ gives meaning to nature of the notion of being ‘behind the veil.’
