Some are white and some go to blue. I think they came
in an assortment DH planted last year.

Love in the Mist.
I got a whole packet of it this year. That's how I knew : ) Had some that
were in a 'Butterfly Attracting Flowers' package a couple of years ago
and I liked them.(Had to look them up then as I didn't know what they
were--package had a list of flowers that was in it) Can't remember if they
have a scent or not. They are taller this year--maybe a different variety
of them?

Hi

I looked it up in my Readers Digest Gardeners Encyclopedia and it says
its a Persian Jewel (Nigella damascena) in purple and white or Miss
Jekyll in pale blue.

The description is as follows - Fast growing, slender, erect annual
with feathery bright green leaves. Small, semi-double flowrs, in
shade or blue, pink or white, appears in spring and early summer,
followed by iflated seed pods which can be dried. Height upto50cm.

Hope it helps.

Jungfer im Grünen,

wild flower seeds and now it keeps coming every year.
Its a very pretty delicate flower, I like it very much

One name is love-in-a-mist. It's nigella damascena if I remember correctly.
Blooms are usually blue but can be white too. I think a spice comes from it
too, maybe cumin? Just found it, nope, cumin is nigella sativa.

it does resemble a clematis - also a passion plant but the petals are wrong
and the leaves are all wrong for a clematis or passion plant. There used to
be a flower that resembled this one that made egg gourds that my mother used
to set her hens. After the hens complied she would slip in the fertilized
eggs and take the gourds out. My brothers and I would "paint" them with
poke berry juice and have easter egg hunts in august.

It looks like a clematis to me - but I'm not an expert We have clematis
vines in our yard.

Nigella, love in the mist, and a number of other names. Seeds
of N. sativa used for culinary purposes in middle eastern and Indian
cuisine (kalonji, "black onion seeds", charnushka).
You can find garden varieties in blue, pink or white. I'm not sure what
species you're growing, but most likely Nigella damascena.
e.g.: https://www.reneesgarden.com/seeds/s...owersN.htm#nig
Annual that tends to reseed itself.
