When to plant: Sow seeds in late winter or early spring, after the last frost. The ideal germination temperature is 60–65°F.
Where to plant: Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil.
How to plant: Sow seeds thinly in rows, 1/4 inch deep, and lightly cover with soil.
Watering: Keep the soil moist until the seeds emerge. After planting, water lightly, and keep the seeds well-watered during germination.
Thinning: When the seedlings have their first true leaves, thin them to 6–9 inches apart.
Mulching: After the seedlings mature, add a layer of mulch to reduce water evaporation.
Here are some other tips for growing bachelor's buttons:
If you're using saved seeds, you can cold treat them for five days before sowing.
Bachelor's buttons are a good choice for beginners because they can tolerate cold temperatures and frost.
They're well-suited to a range of soil conditions, but they do best in beds with a neutral pH or that are slightly acidic.
You can add compost or fertilizer at planting time to supply nutrients for the season.
Bachelor's buttons are rarely affected by pests or disease, but you should monitor for common garden insects like aphids or mealybugs.
Bachelor's buttons are also known as cornflowers. They traditionally come in pale blue, but they can also be pink, purple, white, or black.
