Overview

Bachelor Buttons are an attractive, old-fashioned wildflower that blooms in shades of blue, crimson, pink, and white. Frilly flowers sit atop multi-branching stems. As a quick and easy to grow flower, they’re perfect for adding to arrangements or letting them bloom in the garden. 

Conditions

Bachelor Buttons prefer fertile, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter, but will grow in less than ideal conditions. For optimal blooms and large plants, provide full sun to part shade (3-5 hours of direct sunlight per day).

Planting

Bachelor Buttons are most commonly planted outdoors directly in the garden. Use our grow calendar tool to find specific planting dates for your region! Seeds germinate slowly in 7-25 days.

Plant seeds just ⅛" deep in the garden soil, 5-8 seeds per foot. Thin seedlings to 8-10" apart after first true leaves appear. 

Harvest

Harvest 2" flowers when fully open or leave in the garden through bloom. Flowers can also be dried.
