Bachelor's Buttons Blue is the classic cornflower in its most iconic shade — a brilliant, vivid blue that has decorated gardens and wedding bouquets for centuries and remains one of the most beloved edible flowers in any cutting garden. The cheerful, fringed blooms are mild and subtly sweet, equally at home garnishing a cocktail, floating in a summer salad, or brightening a mixed flower arrangement. Long-stemmed, deer resistant, and delightfully easy to grow.
