Are Bachelor Buttons cut and come again?

Bachelor Buttons are indeed considered to be cut and come again flowers. This means that once they are cut, they have the ability to produce more blooms on the same plant, allowing for continuous harvesting throughout the growing season.

The term “cut and come again” refers to the practice of cutting flowers for bouquets or arrangements, and then allowing the plant to regrow and produce more flowers. This is a desirable trait for many gardeners, as it allows for a steady supply of fresh blooms without needing to constantly replant or purchase new flowers.

In the case of Bachelor Buttons, they are known to be medium producers in terms of their cut and come again capabilities. This means that while they do have the ability to regrow and produce more blooms, they may not be as prolific as some other varieties. However, they still offer a decent amount of flowers for cutting and can provide a lovely addition to any garden or floral arrangement.

It is important to note that the blooming time of Bachelor Buttons is typically from mid June until frost, with the peak bloom occurring in the earlier part of their blooming season. As the season progresses, the plants may produce fewer blooms, but they can still continue to flower until the first frost arrives.

While Bachelor Buttons may not have the longest blooming period compared to some other flowers, their vibrant and colorful blooms make them a popular choice for many gardeners. They are relatively easy to grow and care for, making them a great addition to any garden or landscape.

In my own experience, I have grown Bachelor Buttons in my garden and have found them to be reliable and enjoyable plants. I have appreciated their ability to produce multiple blooms throughout the season, allowing me to enjoy their beauty both in the garden and in floral arrangements.

Bachelor Buttons can be considered cut and come again flowers, although they may not have the widest blooming window compared to some other varieties. Their medium production rate and narrower blooming time make them a unique and charming addition to any garden or landscape.
