Bachelor’s Button is an easy-to-grow perennial that puts on a brilliant display of uniquely fringed, true blue flowers in the late spring and early summer. Cut back after flowers are spent to encourage repeat blooms. This beautiful clump-forming perennial has rich blue spiderlike flowers with reddish blue centers and gray-green leaves. Bachelor's Button will naturalize if allowed. If you prefer a tidier garden, deadhead blossoms after the flower has faded. Plant in borders, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas to enjoy the burst of color.
