Bachelor Button - Sweet Sultan
If you like cut flowers, you must grow Sweet Sultan. They prefer average soils with moderate fertility and are tolerant to drought. Sweet Sultans prefer a full sun location. The Bachelor Button Sweet Sultan Imperialis, 'Centaurea (Amberboa) moschata', is a deliciously fragrant and an absolutely splendid cut flower. Sweet Sultan blooms summer into early fall, mostly during the heat. Plant the Bachelor Buttons in the spring 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost. The easy to grow and very fragrant 'Imperialis' is a somewhat taller and improved variety. Flower colors are shades of white, pink, purple, lavender, rose, red, yellow, and burgundy. The 2 inch flower heads are thistle-looking and almost shine. The Sweet Sultan is an excellent cut flower and grows well in that "hot" spot where nothing else does well. ... find out more
