Black Boy – Bachelor Button
Black Boy attracts bees and butterflies to the garden, one of my all time favorites!
More Information
Nearly black flowers are perfect for the old-fashioned cottage garden, this rare heirloom was listed in Buist’s 1942 catalog.
Bachelor Button’s are easy to grow and flower non-stop throughout the summer months and well into fall, and excellent choice for cut flowers! Pinch back spent blooms to encourage non-stop blooming.
Bachelor Button’s require little maintenance and thrive in poor, dry soil, including sand or clay. Plant seeds directly in the garden after the last frost in early spring. In frost-free climates, plant the seeds in autumn for spring blooms. Although the plant is an annual, it usually reseeds itself for a repeat appearance year after year.
Lightly cover seeds with soil, plant in full sun!
