A purple natural dye plant! Bachelor's Button is also known as coneflower. A beautiful, bright, easy to grow annual. Drought tolerant and enjoys full sun. We love these stunning dark purple flowers! Fun fact: Its Latin name "Centaurea" comes from the myth of a centaur who healed himself from a poisoned arrow with Bachelor's Button. See last photo for the dried flowers ready to make dye.
