About This Item
The nickname "cornflower" comes from the fact that the plant grows wild in the grain fields of southern Europe. Depending upon the variety, plants will grow to between 12 and 18 inches tall and are most effective when massed in beds and borders for color.
This annual plant grows 12 inches tall in USDA zones 3 - 10.
This variety is a dwarf variety only growing to 12 - 18 inches in height. Bachelor buttons are a cutting garden favorite, and they are one of the easiest flowers to dry for everlasting arrangements.
Bachelor buttons are easy to grow from flower seeds outdoors. Sow in spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last expected frost, for early summer blooms. They can also be sown in fall in mild climates for early spring blooms. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep.
Sowing Rate: 10 - 12 seeds per plant or 6 seeds per foot. The seeds need complete darkness to germinate, so make sure they are well covered. When seedlings are 1 to 2 inches tall, thin them to 6 to 8 inches apart. The first blooms appear 10 to 12 weeks after planting, and last for about a month. Successive plantings can extend the bloom period.
