Does Love in a Mist Self Seed?

Love-in-a-mist is self-seeding. So once you have a plant growing and flowering in the garden, just leave a few seedpods on the plants, don't disturb the soil and you'll be rewarded with lots of new plants each year.

How long do love in a mist take to germinate?

When to Sow

The seeds can be sown any time from March to September. Between April and August they can be sown directly into the garden soil. However, if sowing at any other time, you need to start sowing undercover. Their normal flowering period is July to September with flowers lasting for about 8 weeks.

Is love in a mist perennial?

Love-in a mist needs a sunny site and is best grown in borders. Sow in patches to fill bare spaces between long-lived shrubs and perennials or grow love in a mist with other hardy annuals for a colourful summer display.
