Growing to a height of 8-12”, slightly bushy and delicate with white-whitish blue flowers complimented by slightly purple stamens and a lovely seed pod. Small And Mighty. Ethereally beautiful. Very aromatic seeds with a warming flavor that harkens to North African and Middle Eastern cuisines. One of the seeds that got us started on our seed-saving track, we have been growing this since before it could be found in practically any seed catalog. Still rare. While this plant is drought tolerant, it appreciates care while being transplanted and enough water to nourish it through the change.
