• Pros/Cons
• Flower Care
• Quantity Help
• Substitutes

The Good:Has a whimsical, wildflower look with tons of texture! A very unique bloom that is visually impactful. Can be used in bouts, centerpieces, and bouquets. Slightly delicate, but still somewhat hardy.

The Bad: A bit delicate with about a 3-4 day vase life. However, Nigella is pretty easy to work with!

• Give the stems a fresh cut and place in cool water.
• Keep away from heat or sun to extend vase life.
• Remove leaves below waterline.

Nigella can be an “Accent Flower” or “Texture Flower.” Based on our design suggestions, here are our quantity recommendations:

• Bridal Bouquet: 1/2 bunch
• Maids: 1/4 bunch
• Bouts: 1 stem
• Corsages: 1-2 stems
• Centerpieces: 1/4 bunch
• Large Arrangements: 1-2 bunches (but they honestly are a bit small to make an impact here!)

Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off-crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point.

Acceptable Subs:Blue Tweedia or another texture flower that works within your specific palette.
