Bachelor Button Black Magic
Centaurea cyanus

Annual. Vivid color; black or dark maroon mixes nicely with "Blue Boy" for an exciting combination. Bachelor’s button (cornflower) has other desireable traits including drought tolerance and flowers that can be used as dried or cut flowers, and the edible petals make a stunning garnish. Bachelor's button will "naturalize;" it self-sows the next year for another crop of flowers. Blooms summer
