Pink Bachelor Button, also called Tall Pink Cornflower, is an old-fashioned flamingo pink, hardy, drought-tolerant annual flower. Long-lasting cut flower and a beautiful addition in bouquets and flower arrangements. Bachelor Buttons are edible flowers and can be used to decorate cakes, salads, jellos, and other culinary uses.
Bachelor Buttons carry a rich cultural history. Traditionally associated with love and romance, men in the Victorian era wore one in their buttonhole when courting women. It has since been a popular wedding boutonniere.
