Bachelors Button, PDX UG Mix
Often called Cornflowers, this is a mix of Blue Boy, Black Knight, Pink, and White varieties. Resilient and easy to grow, these cornflowers reseed freely, ensuring a perennial display that not only delights the eye but also serves as a valuable food and habitat source for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and goldfinches. Perfect for companion planting, this mix provides early flowers, offering a stunning array of edible blooms just a few months after sowing. Succession plant or continually harvest for continued blooms. Great as a cut flower.
