The listing, Bachelor Button Blue Boy seeds has ended.

This auction is for 20 seeds.

Sunlight: Full sun
Maturity: 80-95 days from seed to flower
Height: 12 to 36 inches
Spacing: 6 to 12 inches apart in all directions

Site Preparation:

Bachelor buttons are not particularly fussy and will tolerate most growing conditions providing they receive plenty of sun. They will do well in average, well-drained soils and do not require large amounts of water. Tall plants tend to sprawl without some support and are easily flattened by wind; grow through a peony ring or select a site in a sheltered location.
How to Plant:

Bachelor buttons are easy to grow from seed. Sow outdoors just before the last frost or shortly after. Plant seeds just beneath the surface of the soil. Seeds will germinate in 7-14 days. Add a general purpose organic fertilizer once a month and remove the old flowers to prolong the blooming season. If treated right, they’ll self sow — be sure to mulch starting in the fall.

Tip: For a spectacular effect, plant in combination with red poppies and snapdragons, or mixed with day lilies in a border.
