What are the bachelor buttons?
Bachelor's buttons are bright blue annual flowers with distinctly knocked flowers and somewhat Austrish growth habit. These plants are commonly included in the mixtures of wild flowers and are also sown separately in tight clusters that provide color explosion when flowers begin to bloom. Many garden supply shops carry bachelor seeds buttons and some also carry starts and seedlings, although these flowers tend to grow best from the seeds. In some areas, these flowers grow wildly along the road and meadows. In addition to classic blue, they also come in white, pink and shades of purple, some of which grow up to three feet (one meter) in height, while others are more compact and low to the ground. Like many flowers, bachelor buttons tend to look a little ragged while growing, but it is part of their magic; They are lent to the informal flower garden or Buzahrad Tterfly. Can help prepare the soil with compost or fertilizer before mounting and regularly fertilizedIT and water during the growing season, but these plants are very durable and sometimes they can survive, even if they are a little neglected. In general, they cannot be shaped or trimmed, although gardeners can cut flowers to stimulate the plant to produce more.
seeds can be sown at the end of autumn or early spring. People who live in a very cold climate may want to wait for spring, or consider germinating bachelor buttons inside the greenhouse and planting seedlings after the worst winter weather. These flowers are annuals, so they die for the summer, but also again, and they will appear again next year without any effort by the gardener. After several years, the bachelor buttons will also tend to spread in the garden.
These colored flowers tend to look best when they are grown as a cluster. Can be paired with other flowers such as Coneflowers, AsterS, Black-Eyed-Susans, Cosmos, Hollyhocks, Bluebells, Goldenrod, Larkspur, Poppies, Yarrox and Plox. Bachelor buttons produce excellent cut flowers for bouquets, buttonhole holes and arrangements, and are also easy to dry, for people who like to work with dried flowers.
