{"title":"Centaurea (Bachelor's Button)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"hs-intro\" data-r12=\"1\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eBachelor's buttons, also called cornflowers, are cool-season annuals and one of the few sources of true blue for summer bouquets. They're simple to grow from direct sowing, either in fall where winters are mild or as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Florist Blue Boy and Tall Blue Boy grow long stems for cutting. Black Button gives deep maroon. Classic Magic and Classic Romantic add bicolors and soft pinks, and Choice Mix covers the full color range. Sow every few weeks for a longer harvest, since each planting peaks and fades. The petals are edible too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"choice-mix-centaurea-seed","title":"Choice Mix Centaurea Seed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassic cornflowers in four colors.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis heirloom mix covers blue, pink, red and white.
