Wow, I learned so much from this, thank you!!! I just started growing a few flowers (For a new hobby during quarantine) and Bachelor Buttons had been my first pick of flowers!!! :D (It started growing today!!!)

[@FarmhouseTeas]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chanelprincess6061]

WOW!!! I LOVE Bachelor Buttons. I kept buying the seeds, hoping to plant them. Because you very rarely see Blue flowers. I also want them to naturalize in my garden. I finally planted some last year. I also planted some this year 2022. They germinated really fast and I just LOVE them so much. I had no idea they had all these uses. Thank you so much!

Thank you! Great video. I made plantain salve last year, nice to know I can also add this.

[@FarmhouseTeas]

Awesome!

[@superherocris]

Great video! I am hoping to harvest some bachelor buttons for drying to use in tea blends. Do you have any tips for how to do it? Thank you!

[@FarmhouseTeas]

Yes! Make sure to check out our free tea blending course here www.growcreatesip.com/resource_redirect/landing_pages/876721

[@eliza9500]

Wow! Such great information! How would you use the leaves?

[@FarmhouseTeas]

That I do not know as most people use the flowers.

[@alexandraderry7086]

What’s the best way to dehydrate them? Should I take the petals off the green part of the blossoms or can I just dry them as is? Thanks

[@dianasmithhill4678]

Great video thank you

[@FarmhouseTeas]

My pleasure!

[@georginairismaybutters2968]

I’ve grown some at home this year and I am planning to infuse some into some gin, would you recommend using the whole flower or just the petals? And should I dry them first?

[@FarmhouseTeas]

The whole flower would be great

[@katiecoollady]

medici-nary >I think you just coined a word there!

[@FarmhouseTeas]

I’ll have to do that some more!

[@holly7060]

Can you make this into a tincture? And if so how would you do that? Thank you for your video.

[@FarmhouseTeas]

Yes you could but it would be better served as a tea.

[@barbarakerrc]

How do you make bachelor button tea? How many blossoms do you use to make the tea for UTIs?

[@FarmhouseTeas]

I’d recommend our free tea blending workshop here www.growcreatesip.com/resource_redirect/landing_pages/876721

[@garygnu13]

Do they come back every year do they take over your garden

[@FarmhouseTeas]

They will come back if they are allowed to go to seed. We usually pull them up and the chickens deal with most of the seed. I haven't had any issues with this method.

[@krystaldemeinjohnson1028]

How do u collecting pollen from bachelor buttons

[@FarmhouseTeas]

I'm not really sure, what are you collecting it for?

[@jellusbox]

Can I cook them in spaghetti?

[@FarmhouseTeas]

Probably but I’m not sure how they would taste!

[@NikosKatsikanis]

I eat them raw right off the plants
