Full Description

Lilac Rose Aloha Bachelor Button is a soft, romantic variation of the classic cornflower, producing delicate blooms in shades of dusty lilac, rose, and blush tones. Growing to approximately 20 inches tall, this compact and airy plant brings a gentle, vintage charm to garden beds, borders, and cut flower arrangements. Its fringed, button-like blossoms sway gracefully on slender stems, creating movement and a natural meadow-like feel.

This variety is especially loved for its unique pastel coloration, offering a softer alternative to traditional blue cornflowers. It attracts beneficial pollinators such as bees and butterflies and is easy to grow, making it ideal for both beginner and experienced gardeners. The blooms are also excellent for drying, retaining their colour well for long-lasting arrangements.

Medicinal Properties

Bachelor Button flowers have traditionally been used for their mild anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. The petals may be used in herbal infusions as a gentle support for eye health and to help reduce irritation. They are also valued in natural skincare for calming sensitive or inflamed skin. In teas, they may offer mild digestive support and act as a gentle diuretic.

Full Growing Information from Seed:

Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring once the soil can be worked, or in fall for earlier blooms the following season. Bachelor Buttons prefer well-drained soil and tolerate poor to average soil conditions.

  • Plant seeds ¼ inch deep
  • Space or thin seedlings to 6–10 inches apart
  • Keep soil lightly moist until germination
  • Germination occurs in 7–14 days

Once established, plants are low maintenance and moderately drought-tolerant. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. These plants do not require heavy feeding and perform well with minimal care.

Stratification: No stratification required

Seed count: 5 seeds
