Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Tall White Bachelor Button Cornflower Garden Flower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Pop this white beauty into a buttonhole for any special occasion. This wildflower is an annual that looks great in the garden, in a fresh bouquet, or in a dried flower arrangement. These bright blossoms once grew wild in the fields of the United Kingdom and southern Europe, though they have become very rare in recent times because of the changing landscape and new farming techniques. This species was first recorded for botanical records in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus. While the genus name "Centaurea" comes from Greek mythology, the common name of Bachelor's Button comes from the tradition of young men wearing the flower as a sign of love. They were also called cornflowers because of their abundant growth in farmers' fields. At one time the blossoms were made into a temporary dye most often used for tinting frosting, sugar, or candies.
