100 Seeds Blue Bachelor's Button Centaurea cyanus Cornflower Annual Cut Flower Garden

Blue Bachelor's Button, also known as Cornflower, is a classic annual prized for its vibrant, fringed blue blooms. This easy-to-grow wildflower adds a cheerful, cottage-garden feel to borders, meadows, and cutting gardens.

The flowers are excellent for fresh bouquets and dried arrangements, and they attract pollinators throughout the season. Plants grow upright with slender gray-green foliage and bloom prolifically from early summer into fall. Seeds can be sown directly into prepared beds for a naturalized look or started indoors for earlier blooms.
