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.
