Cornflower/Bachelor buttons

Cornflower is also known as bachelor button.  Plants grow to 24 inches in height. Great for beds and borders, flower mixtures, and pollinator gardens. Flower petals are edible. Cornflower seeds are easy and inexpensive to grow in the home garden. Although they are best known for their cornflower blue blooms, these annuals also come in shades of pink, white, red, lavender, and maroon. Ranging in height from 10 inches to 2-1/2 feet, cornflowers produce single or double flowers with fringed petals and gray-green leaves. Dwarf varieties are suitable for edging and borders, while taller varieties are popular in cottage gardens.
