Last year special girls Ella, Livvy and Emma chose flower seeds to plant in the glasshouse here at Struan Farm. Ella had Nigella, Livvy chose Lobelia and Emma opted for Echinacea. The seedling flowers were eventually all planted out in the gardens and flourished to varying degrees.
This spring it's fun to see Ella's Nigella growing all over. It has reincarnated in the garden, self seeding in a major way. I like to use the whispery fronds in flower arrangements along with the buds and delicate blue and white flowers.
They're not a problem at this stage. But I'll keep a watch on them so they don't become yet another good thing running wild, trying to achieve world dominance here at Struan Farm!
