Bachelor’s Button is an easy-to-grow perennial that puts on a brilliant display of uniquely fringed, true blue flowers in the late spring and early summer. Cut back after flowers are spent to encourage repeat blooms. This beautiful clump-forming perennial has rich blue spiderlike flowers with reddish blue centers and gray-green leaves. Bachelor's Button will naturalize if allowed. If you prefer a tidier garden, deadhead blossoms after the flower has faded. Plant in borders, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas to enjoy the burst of color.

Shipping Times

Our FedEx and local shipping times depend on two factors, one is by the region and the second is the type of product being shipped.

Due to unpredictable weather, staffing, inventory and industry demands these timelines can change. Therefore, we cannot guarantee any of these times.
