The Damask black cumin is also known as the "maiden in the green". The plants are of medium height and bloom sky-blue in a mixture of double and undouble flowers. Unlike true black cumin, its seeds are not relevant as a spice, but are also edible. Above all, however, the little ones in the garden love it and insects flock to it.
