These dramatically attractive cuties won our hearts with their assorted firecracker-like petal bursts. Edible cream, lavender, lilac, plum and bi-colored blooms on 36-40” plants will surely make fans of any person or pollinator who crosses its path.  Classic Magic Bachelor’s Buttons are a staple filler flower in our summer CSA bouquets as they can quickly add a variety of creamy purple shades that we all find darling.
