BLUE BACHELOR BUTTONS, ALSO KNOWN AS CORNFLOWERS, ARE ANOTHER OLD-TIMEY ANNUAL THAT HAS GRACED FLOWERBEDS FOR MANY YEARS. THE DUSTY BLUE-ISH GREEN FOLIAGE GROWS STRAIGHT UP AND SPREADS VERY LITTLE, SO PLANT BACHELOR BUTTONS CLOSE TOGETHER FOR A MASS OF COLOR. THE PUFFY, ROUNDED BLUE BLOOMS ARE HELD HIGH AT THE TOP OF THE STEMS. THESE CORNFLOWERS ARE VERY EASY TO GROW FROM SEED. PLANT BACHELOR BUTTONS IN A LOCATION WITH FULL SUN TO PARTIAL SHADE. CORNFLOWERS GROW WELL IN A VARIETY OF WELL DRAINED SOIL TYPES, BUT ADD ORGANIC MATTER TO HEAVY CLAY SOILS.
