Perennial Bachelor's Button 1 Gallon

Centaurea montana
A true garden classic, Perennial Bachelor's Button or Cornflowers possess 2 inch wide, vivid, cobalt blue, fringed flowers with a violet center and black tipped bracts. When in full bloom, they exude a luscious peach fragrance. Foliage is an attractive gray-green with a soft, silvery fuzz that keeps the deer away. Perfect for a cottage or cutting garden combined with lilies, yarrow, Coreopsis, and Rudbeckia. Plant in well-drained to dry, nutrient-rich soil amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week, for the first year. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage repeat blooms and to reduce self-seeding and spreading. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide in spring or fall every two years.
