Bachelor Button

A long-lasting cut flower that is easy to grow. Plant in large groups or allow to naturalize in a wildflower setting. Nice textural contrast when planted with catmint or lupine. Remove faded flowers for extended bloom and to reduce self-seeding. Requires frequent division in small gardens.
