Blue Bachelor’s Button (Centaurea cyanus), also known as Cornflower or Blue Centaur, is a charming heirloom annual prized for its brilliant sky-blue blooms and easy-growing nature. These delicate, fringed flowers bring timeless cottage-garden beauty to borders, meadows, and cut flower gardens.
Growing 18–36 inches tall, Bachelor’s Buttons produce upright stems topped with vibrant blue blossoms that bloom from late spring through summer. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. They also make excellent fresh or dried cut flowers.
