Bachelor’s Button Sowing Instructions
Planting Depth:1/2” Seed Spacing:2”-3” Plant Spacing:6”-12” Days to Germination:7-14 days Germination Temperature:60°-70°F
Centaurea cyanus. It is best to direct-sow
Bachelor’s Buttons in well-draining, loamy soil in
full sun as soon as the ground can be worked.
Plant 1⁄2" deep and tamp down well since they
require darkness for optimal germination. Keep
uniformly moist until the seedlings emerge, up to
2 weeks after sowing.
Or sow indoors 4 weeks before planting
outside, in a good seed-starting medium at about
60° to 70°F. Provide even moisture, strong light
and good ventilation. Prior to transplanting,
acclimate the seedlings by gradually exposing
them to outside conditions for 1 to 2 weeks.
Thin or transplant 6" to 12" apart in the garden.
Weed and keep well-watered until established.
Drought tolerant, water moderately once
established. Summer flowering. Height: 3'.
