An old-fashioned beauty with a second act you will love just as much.
Love-in-a-mist ‘Miss Jekyll Dark Blue’ brings a touch of nostalgia to the garden with brilliant sapphire-blue blooms that seem to glow against soft, feathery foliage. This classic cottage flower is a favorite of bees and gardeners alike, blooming generously and effortlessly when direct-seeded in cool weather.
As the flowers fade, the plant quietly shifts into its next role. Apple-green seedpods with distinctive maroon striping take center stage, adding an unexpected textural element to arrangements. These sculptural pods are just as valuable as the flowers themselves, working beautifully both fresh and dried and extending the usefulness of the plant well beyond bloom time.
This variety solves the common problem of short-lived annuals by offering beauty at multiple stages, making it a smart, space-efficient choice for cutting gardens of any size.
Because the best plants earn their keep more than once.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes:
Plants prefer not to be transplanted and perform best when direct-seeded in fall or early spring. If starting indoors, chill seeds in the freezer for 10 to 14 days before sowing to help speed up 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 seedpods last indefinitely and can be dried by hanging stems upside down in a warm, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks.
A timeless garden favourite that keeps giving long after the blooms fade.
