It is native to southern Europe (but adventive in more northern countries of Europe), north Africa and southwest Asia.The plant's common name "love-in-a-mist" comes from the flower being nestled in a ring of multifid, lacy bracts.
Description
It grows to 20–50 cm (8–20 in) tall, with pinnately divided, thread-like, alternate leaves. The flowers, blooming in early summer, are most commonly different shades of blue, but can be white, pink, or pale purple, with 5 to 25 sepals. The actual petals are located at the base of the stamens and are minute and clawed. The sepals are the only colored part of the perianth. The four to five carpels of the compound pistil have each an erect style.
