Polka Dot Mix Bachelor Button is an easy-to-grow bright and festive mix of blue, purple, pink, white, and rose annual blooms. The plant is a dwarf, so it is great for gardens with limited space. This variety is beautiful for fresh or dried flower arrangements. The Bachelor Button is one of the easiest flowers to start from seed and makes an excellent cut flower.
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.
