I need to add some blue to my garden this year.
I need to break up all the yellow in my garden!
Mine is pink and yellow…the blue will be perfect.
Got a couple of packets of seed…we’ll let the Flower Fairy plant them 😉
I liked having them for little cut bouquets this last Summer!
I haven’t planted bachelor buttons in years, but my mom did and they were always favorites. So easy to grow and wonderful for bouquets.
Last year was the first I ever grew them….always loved them as cut flowers!
I love bachelor’s buttons. They grew wild on the grassy knolls near my childhood home. I grew them on purpose for the first time last year. Don’t they just bring such happiness to one’s view?
Tried planting a wildflower mix in the ditches of the driveway….not even one little cornflower! They did much better in The Pickery.
What a beautiful little flower! I’ve always heard of bachelor’s buttons, but I don’t know that I actually recognized them! I think I need to see if I can grow some, too. What a cheerful flower. 🙂
