Dwarf Blue Bachelor Button is a old-fashioned true-blue hardy, drought-tolerant annual flower. Similar to the Tall Blue Bachelor Button, but is 1-2 feet tall and more compact with closer blooms. This resilient and long-lasting cut flower is a beautiful addition in bouquets and flower arrangements. Completely edible, it is also a natural blue food colorant, tea, and garnish in the culinary world.
Bachelor Buttons carry a rich cultural history. Traditionally associated with love and romance, men in the Victorian era wore one in their buttonhole when courting women. It has since been a popular wedding boutonniere.

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
Start indoors 1 month before last frost in well-draining containers in >60F area. Keep moist. Transplant when plants are <4" and ground is >45F. Or, sow outdoors in moist, fertile, well-draining soil in full sun when soil is >60F. Drought-tolerant once established.
