Planting Instructions:

1. Sow Seeds Outdoors: Plant seeds outdoors after the last frost date or start seeds indoors for an earlier bloom.
2. Choose a Sunny or Partially Shaded Spot: Select a location that receives full sun or partial shade for the best results.
3. Prepare Well-Drained Soil: Ensure the soil is light, well-draining, and moderately fertile, as Nigella prefers a more neutral to slightly alkaline soil.
4. Space Seeds: Sow seeds 1-2 inches apart and cover lightly with soil. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart for healthy growth.
5. Water Regularly: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, as Nigella plants do not thrive in soggy conditions.
