How to Grow Bachelor's Buttons

Bachelor's Buttons need well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5, and full sun for at least 6 hours a day. They prefer cooler temperatures and should be planted in early spring or late summer.

After danger of frost has passed, sow seeds 1/8" deep in average, well-drained soil.  Germination will occur in 5-24 days.  After germination has occurred, thin to one seedling every 10-12". 

Harden off seedlings for a few days prior to transplanting. After danger of frost has passed, dig a hole roughly the size of the root ball and lower the seedling in, being careful not to disturb the roots. Backfill with loose soil and water well. Space plants 10-12" in all directions. Keep well-watered until the plants are established.

Bachelor's Buttons are generally very healthy and easy-to-grow. Removing spent blooms will promote flowering.

Bachelor's buttons make excellent cut flowers. They have a long vase life, come in a variety of colors, and are easy to arrange. If harvested as the blooms are just beginning to open, you can expect the flowers to last about a week in a vase.

CONSIDERATIONS:

To harvest bachelor's buttons seeds, wait until the flowers have dried and turned brown. Cut the flower heads off and place them in a paper bag. Shake the bag to release the seeds.

HARVESTING SEED:

SEED LONGETIVITY:
