bachelor's button

Bachelor's Button (Centratherum punctatum 'Button Beauty') should be watered on a regular basis as it prefers soil with average moisture content. During the active growing season, you should water the Bachelor's Button thoroughly, allowing the top few inches of soil to become slightly moist. Make sure to water slowly and deeply, so that the entire root zone is wet. During the summer months, you should water at least twice a week, if not more. During the winter, reduce the frequency to about once a week.

Bachelor's button (Centratherum punctatum 'Button Beauty') is a warm-season plant that generally does best when receiving plenty of sunlight. It should be placed in a location that receives full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day), although it will tolerate a few hours of partial shade. It does best in well-drained soils that are consistently moist. Be sure to water this plant at least once a week, as its shallow roots make them susceptible to drying out quickly.

Bachelor's Button (Centratherum punctatum 'Button Beauty') should be pruned in the early spring, before flowering. This fast-growing annual should be lightly pruned, removing only older, dead branches and stems. Cutting back the most vigorous stems by about 1-third will help keep the plant bushy. Once the flower buds start to develop, no pruning should occur as deadheading spent blooms will suffice. If the plant becomes overgrown, more substantial pruning may be required, but it is best to avoid this as much as possible.
