Bachelor Button Tall Blend

Bachelor’s button, also known as “cornflower”, is drought tolerant and needs little pampering. Flowers are great for cutting or drying and the edible petals are beautiful sprinkled on a salad. Bachelor’s button will “naturalize”; it self-sows for another crop of flowers the following season, and birds love the seed heads! Attracts pollinators and beneficial insects. Deer resistant.

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED.

1 to 2 weeks before your average last frost date, or in late summer/fall for blooms the following season.

Mild Climates: Sow in fall for winter bloom.

When to start inside: 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date. Not recommended; does not transplant well. Use biodegradable pots to avoid root disturbance.
