It is native to the region extending from the eastern Mediterranean to India and was probably first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent.

The flowers are pure pale blue, 15–25 mm diameter, with five petals; they can also be bright red. The fruit is a round, dry capsule 5–9 mm diameter, containing several glossy brown seeds shaped like an apple pip, 4–7 mm long.
