Nigella earns its common name of Love-in-a-Mist with a tangle of ferny, fennel like foliage that form a mist around the flowers. I'm not sure why anyone would call Nigella Devil in the Bush.

PASSIFLORA FOETIDA - Love-in-a-mist, Wild Water Lemon
This vigorous delicate vine from Brazil has a tendency to overgrow. Its name derives from the fine net of green enclosing the flowers. It flowers heavily and fruits without hand pollination.

Nigella damascena (love-in-a-mist): Saucer-shaped flowers in shades of blue, rose, pink or white, surrounded by a ruff of ferny foliage. Good for cut flowers and seed pods can be dried for winter decoration.

Plant dwarf conifers and other evergreen shrubs now and also plant seeds of hardy annuals, such as Love-in-a-Mist.
