Delicate in appearance, dependable in every way.
Love-in-a-mist ‘Albion Green Pod’ may look soft and airy, but it is one of the toughest early bloomers in the garden. Finely cut, fern-like foliage creates a cloud around lacy, star-shaped blooms, each framed by a halo of fringed bracts that give this plant its signature look. Creamy double flowers are etched with subtle green veining, offering quiet beauty that feels thoughtful rather than showy.
As the season moves on, this variety truly earns its keep. Blooms give way to an abundance of bright green seedpods that are just as valuable as the flowers themselves. These sculptural pods add texture and interest to fresh arrangements and dry beautifully for use long after the garden has faded. It is a smart, space-efficient choice for growers who want more than one moment of beauty from a single plant.
Cold-hardy and unfussy, ‘Albion Green Pod’ performs best when direct-seeded in cool weather and then largely left alone to do its thing.
Because the most useful flowers are often the quietest ones.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes:
Plants dislike being transplanted and perform best when direct-seeded in the garden in fall or early spring. If starting indoors, chill seeds in the freezer for 10 to 14 days before sowing to help speed germination.
Harvesting & Vase Life:
Harvest flowers when they are about three-quarters open, or allow seedpods to form and harvest those instead. Fresh flowers have a vase life of approximately 7 days. Dried pods last indefinitely and can be dried by hanging stems upside down in a warm, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks.
A hardworking favourite that brings beauty at every stage.
