love-in-a-mist
Wispy blue flower
Love-in-a-mist is a garden flower with feathery foliage that surrounds the bloom like a delicate veil or mist.
The plant produces pale blue, white, or pink flowers and distinctive horned seed pods.
Native to southern Europe, it self-seeds readily: The love-in-a-mist has spread all through the cottage garden.
