Everwilde Farms – 500 Dwarf Blue Bachelor Button Cornflower Garden Flower Seeds – Gold Vault Jumbo Bulk Seed Packet

These bright blossoms once grew wild in the fields of the United Kingdom and southern Europe, though they have become very rare in recent times because of the changing landscape and new farming techniques. This species was first recorded for botanical records in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus. While the genus name “Centaurea” comes from Greek mythology, the common name of Bachelor’s Button comes from the tradition of young men wearing the flower as a sign of love. They were also called cornflowers because of their abundant growth in farmers’ fields. At one time the blue blossoms were made into a temporary dye most often used for tinting frosting, sugar, or candies.
