Bachelor Buttons, Classic Romantic

Bachelor Buttons, Classic Romantic, Centaurea, 100 seeds avg.

One of the earliest flowers to bloom in our garden. Beautiful mix of pinks and whites.

Planting Tips:

• Cool-season hardy annual that prefers full sun.
• Planting seeds directly in the garden is preferred.
• Cover seed; allow 7-14 days to germinate.
• Thin seedlings once 5" tall to 9" apart in the garden.
• Ht. 24"-36".
• Winter hardy in zone 6 and south.

 Keep the Blooms Coming:

• Make the first cut of the central stem at almost ground level, just above the lowest two to three leaves.
• Future cuts to be made at stem base being harvested.
• Harvest as bloom cracks open. Leave a few flower heads on the plants in the garden to encourage reseeding.
