Bachelor Button Seeds

Bachelor Button, also known as cornflower, is a classic cottage-garden annual loved for its bright, frilly blooms and easygoing nature. Most often seen in that iconic cornflower blue, it’s also available in shades of pink, white, and deep burgundy, adding cheerful pops of colour to borders and wildflower plantings. Growing about 60–90 cm (24–36") tall, Bachelor Button has slender stems and silvery-green foliage that give it a light, airy presence in the garden. It thrives in full sun, tolerates poorer soils, and handles cooler temperatures with ease—making it an excellent choice for early sowing in Canadian gardens. Pollinators adore the nectar-rich blooms, and the flowers are fantastic for fresh bouquets or even drying. Low-maintenance and quick to bloom, Bachelor Button is perfect for gardeners who want reliable colour, pollinator appeal, and that timeless, slightly nostalgic charm without a lot of fuss.
