Bachelor Buttons, 'Blue Boy'
Submitted by mawnature on Fri, 04/18/2008 - 10:04
This is the best Bachelor Button I've ever raised. The seeds came from our friend DizzyD in one of our trades. Sometimes known as the Cornflower, this blue beauty once grew wild in cornfields, and in the grain fields in southern Europe. Hence the name. In zones 8 and up, the seeds can be sown in fall for early spring blooms on 2-3 ft. high plants. This one is the result of fall sowing.
