Description
This annual wildflower mix produces blue, crimson, pink, and white bachelor buttons flowers. Sometimes called “Cornflower” instead. Good for cutting flowers or making dye, but these are also edible! (NOTE: Some of the flowers in the picture aren’t bachelor buttons. The bachelor buttons are the vivid blue and lightish pink flowers scattered around the images, not the deep pink or orange flowers.)
