Perennial Bachelor's Button Seeds
Start Bachelor's Button seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed outdoors in early spring when light frost is still possible.
Sow seeds 1/4 inch (5 mm) deep and cover lightly. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days.
After your last frost date, transplant seedlings into a sunny location with well-draining soil, spacing plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart. Bachelor's Button is drought-tolerant once established and thrives with minimal care, making it a great choice for low-maintenance gardens. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage prolonged flowering.
