Centaurea cyanu
Description
HEIRLOOM Also called cornflower, we love this mix of edible blue, lavender and rose petals on silver-green stalks often 3′ tall. Bachelor buttons are easy to grow in gardens and raised beds as well as containers, thriving in short seasons even with average soil, minimal care and even drought. Beneficial pollinators flock to their bright petals, which we also love to toss on our salads, cupcakes and spring rolls!
At Fruition Seeds, we sow bachelor buttons in soil blocks 4 weeks before final frost to transplant after final frost.
