These vibrant flowers come in shades of blue, purple, pink, red and white, and make an excellent addition to any garden. Not only do they look great, but they also attract honey bees and wild bees, making them perfect for pollinator gardens. And if that wasn't enough, the petals are edible too - so why not sprinkle them on salads, cottage cheese or desserts? Give Bachelor's Button Tall Mix a try today! 750mg ~ 150 seeds.
