Description

DWARF BLUE BACHELOR BUTTON CORNFLOWER Are a annual flower that is used to make great cut flowers for fresh or dried arrangements. The 2" sky-blue flowers are great for the garden or borders. Easily grown from seed. The dwarf variety is also the perfect size for containers, and they don't flop over under their own weight like the tall cornflowers will do. Remove spent flowers to extend the bloom season and to increase the flower size. Dwarf Bachelor Buttons will bloom from early summer until the first frost. Plants prefer full sun in mild climates and partial shade in the hotter areas. They tolerate a wide variety of soils as long as it drains well. The mature plants are drought tolerant and pretty much carefree after established. The flowers are very attractive to bees and butterflies, but deer leave the plants alone. 500+Seeds per order.
