Product Description
GROW HEIRLOOM CORNFLOWERS - PLANT TALL BLUE BACHELOR BUTTON SEEDS
This beautiful and dependable annual in periwinkle blue is native to Europe, though has made its home across North America. Drought tolerant, Tall Blue Bachelor Buttons prefer to bloom during the cooler temps of spring and can be used as a wonderful cut flower as well. Some gardeners also like to dry cornflowers, as they keep their color very well! Cornflower "Tall Blue" is a true wildflower classic, and a standard in any "wild" garden.
