Organic Bachelor Button Blue Boy Seeds

Centaurea cyanus ‘Blue Boy’ (Bachelor Button) is one of those easy, cheerful flowers that instantly makes a garden feel more alive. These classic, true-blue blooms look right at home in cottage gardens, pollinator patches, and cutting beds—and they’re just as happy tucked into borders as they are sprinkled through a meadow-style planting. ‘Blue Boy’ is loved for its bright color, tidy habit, and dependable performance, even for first-time flower growers.

Plant a little, or plant a lot—either way, you’ll get a generous show of fringed, cornflower-blue blossoms that keep coming when you harvest regularly. Bachelor buttons are also a smart choice for low-input gardens: they’re resilient, quick to establish, and bloom readily with minimal fuss. If you’re building a cutting garden, you’ll appreciate their long, straight stems and the way their vivid color plays beautifully with whites, yellows, and soft pinks.
