Today I'm sharing how to harvest bachelor's buttons! These flowers are also known as "cornflowers" and should be harvested right as they are about to crack open to 1/3 open. Make the initial cut deep into the central stem of the plant, above three sets of leaves. Make all additional cuts where the flower stem your cutting meets the main stem. Cut in the cool of the morning or evening with sterilized pruners and immediately place into cool water. You can expect a vase life of approx 5-7 days. These flowers benefit from floral preservative added into the water.

Thanks so much for this video! I've been having a hard time with bachelors' buttons for years and realize now thanks to your video that I'm not cutting down far enough and I'm cutting blooms that are too old. Very helpful!

I have been power watching your channel today and learned so much. You are a natural in front of the camera. Looking forward to seeing many more videos. Thank you

This type of video is so helpful for me. I’m a visual learner and sometimes it seems like a lot of RU-vid cut flower videos don’t address these types of important details!

Thank you! Only video i could find that actually demonstrated how, when, and where to cut 😊

Thank you! Faced with a patch of Batchelor Buttons, I was flummoxed as to how to harvest them without wasting side shoots. Now I know I can cut deep and it will just stimulate the plant.

Love your channel. I grew bachelor buttons for the first time this year, planted in the fall, they are past my waist in height now and blooming like crazy, so beautiful.

Your videos are always so informative and helpful! I realize now that I was cutting my buttons way past their prime and was wondering why they weren't lasting that long. Lesson learned!

I harvested some shasta daisy while still in the tight bud stage and it never opened in the vase... now I know not to do that! Haha! Thanks for the video!

Love your channel, I always learn something new!💚 I have a question, I winter sown Bachelors Button, and have good size seedlings, but can I direct sow for later blooms now?

@NorthlawnFlowerFarm 4 года назад

Yes definitely! I think it was two years ago I did a fall and spring sowing. The spring ones did not get as tall but still made great cuts!

@Dahliaismypassion 4 года назад

Northlawn Flower Farms thank you so much!💚

Let me begin with saying that I love your channel; the content is beautiful and informative! I look forward to each video and consider you a flower friend🌷💐🌻. During a recent rain all my bachelor buttons fell over at the netting level; if I cut them back will they flush out again? Any info will be greatly appreciated! Thank you and “Happy Gardening!”

I love this video! Would you be able to do this for new look dusty miller. I am questioning how to harvest them and what to expect. Are they cut and come again?

@martiee6882 2 года назад

I am seeing my buttons now and I thought they usually came early. So I have no idea. I am in 4a and we have some crazy weather. Maybe the late winter storm and heavy rain is slowing everything down. I am hoping to see blooms soon. I started so much inside and hail tore up all my strawflowers and I was a bit taken back.

Hi , I love your channel ! You made your garden much more enjoyable then mine , they are so lush and everything looks "upright" I m new to gardening and growing my cut flower garden too.. I m so inspired by your cut flower garden design ! My bachelors button tend to fall down after heavy rain or strong winds, many of my flowers do ..eg. larkspur . I already put up horizontal nettings to prevent that happening but maybe they are too tall , I guess I have to put up to 2 level sooner next year .... How do you keep all your plant so upright without supports?

@lisafeck1537 Год назад

I believe she chose that sight specifically bc of the height they grow to. She planted very close to that structure, I don't know if that is her house, shed, or garage. The structure is protecting the stems from direct wind. They were still, obviously seen in the video, being blown some, but the building/ structure is definitely lending some relief. She really does have an excellent garden design, I enjoy her garden very much. If I ever get my transplants in the ground, I will have to use support netting, I have no wind breaks, at all. Lots and lots of land to plant on, but nothing to break the pressure of the wind. I am looking forward to trying the support netting. I hope you have grat success with your garden.

@health.bites.5615 2 года назад

What kind of soil are your cornflowers growing in? Will they grow well in fertile soil or in poor soil? I definitely want to grow them in next year but wondering what's the best spot in my gardens.

@tinaholbrook9719 3 года назад

Do these need to be supported by horizontal netting?

@barbsvoboda9634 3 года назад

Mine are falling over and they are netted. Should I have pinched them already? I also have really weak necks. They bend over really easy. Should I just cut them all down low?
