Description
Centaurea cyanus
An easy-to-grow crowd-pleaser & heirloom!
Also known as the Polka Dot Bachelor's Button, this reseeding annual comes in a mix of pink, blue, purple, white and magenta flowers. It reaches 16-24" tall and makes a great addition to any flower bed.
Folks near foothills should exercise caution as bachelor's buttons can naturalize and compete with natives in some areas. Great in meadow gardens and as a middle-of-the-border plant.
Seeds grown by Titbout's Seeds in Missoula, Montana and Field Good Farms in Boise, Idaho.
50 seeds.
Directions: Direct seed in Spring after last frost. They do not transplant well due to their long tap root. Prefers full or part sun in well drained soil.
