Feel bad to tell you this because it does look nice, but, Bachelor’s Buttons and any Centaurea is invasive in North America and commonly sold in “Wildflower” mixes from big seed suppliers like Burpee, because it germinates and reseeds like crazy. These mixes contain few to no native plants are just seeds that are easy to grow.
Other than that I’m from the Northeast and idk my PNW stuff, the presence of centaurea though got me suspicious.
Make sure you get a seed mix from a native supplier and go read through each seed included in the packet to make sure it’s native to your part of the world.
shorter varieties next time; and add a little border around the edges for the buttoned up types of humans. looks great! welcome to the jungle of gardening!
How many, bees, wasps, flys, butterflies, birds, do you see?? That’s your answer …..
Im in the pnw and I grow cornflower. I have not experienced it being thuggish. I only fet 1 or 2 volunteers a year.
