Feathery white petals radiate from the purple center of each flower on this dependable, low growing perennial with long, gray-green lanceolate leaves. Attaining a height of 12 to 15 inches with a spread of 24 to 30 inches, it will easily fill in any gaps in the perennial bed and flower from June into August. 

Low maintenance and easy to care for, it is also deer and rabbit resistant. Tolerates drought once established and will do well in the heat. Would be a beautiful choice for a mass planting, perennial border, patio planting, walkway or pathway, window box and pot or container planting. Winter hardy in zones 3 to 9. Plants in containers or pots would need to be protected in areas where temperatures fall below freezing for extended periods of time and either brought indoors to a cool space or planted in the ground for the winter and repotted in spring. Native to Europe and naturalized in North America. 

Amethyst in Snow Bachelors Button Care

Grows best in full sun but will take partial shade. It accepts a wide pH range and is tolerant of poor soils but prefers a moist to dry, well-drained area that is slightly sandy. 

Deadhead spent flowers to prevent it from spending energy producing seed. Cut back two-thirds of the plant mid-summer to encourage new growth. May be divided every 2 to 3 years. Remove any plants grown in pots or containers and plant in garden soil for winter and repot in the spring. Alternatively, the pots or containers could be stored indoors for the winter in a cool, but sunny area that is above freezing. 

Amethyst in Snow Bachelors Button Spacing

Plants should be spaced approximately 2 to 3 feet apart if grown as a mass planting, perennial border planting, patio planting, walkway or pathway planting or if grown in pots or containers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
