75+ heirloom bachelor button seeds! “tall red” (centaurea cyanus)

Red bachelor buttons, also known as cornflowers, are another old-timey annual. This tall red variety grows up to a height of 36” tall, perfect for eye-catching mass plantings! They are very easy to grow from seed. The puffy, rounded blooms are held high at the top of the stems. The dusty blue-ish green foliage grows straight up and spreads very little, so plant bachelor buttons close together for a mass of color.

Tall red bachelor buttons grow well in a variety of well-drained soil types and prefer full sun to partial shade. They are very drought tolerant after established and like to be crowded. Plant bachelor button seeds in a location with full sun to partial shade. Cornflowers grow well in a variety of well-drained soil types, but add organic matter to heavy clay soils.

Start your tall red bachelor button seeds indoors and get a jump on the season! Plant bachelor button seeds six to eight weeks before the last frost, and transplant them outside when the weather warms up.
