Description
Black Ball bachelor’s button brings a deep, wine-maroon shade to the cool-season flower garden, with frilled, button-like blooms held on slender stems. This old cottage-garden annual has the airy look of wildflowers but enough depth and drama to anchor bouquets, borders, and meadow-style plantings.
The flowers are attractive to pollinators and the petals are edible, adding dark color to salads, desserts, and garden-grown garnishes. Easy to direct sow and quick to bloom, Black Ball is a small seed with a rich, old-world presence.
