Centaurea - Classic Magic Seeds

(Bachelor Buttons)

Centaurea is easy to grow in just about any soil and is often one of the first flowers kids fall in love with in the garden. It may not be a big show-stopper, but it’s a steady favourite — cheerful, reliable, and always welcome in a mixed bouquet.

These seeds are originally from Johnny's Seeds.  They were not produced here at the farm.  These are the same seeds we plant to produce our 2-acre flower field.  As I always order extra, I have repackaged the seeds into smaller quantities to allow you the opportunity to grow them, too (as not everyone needs 1000 seeds!).
