Blanket Flowers are annuals or perennials from open spots in prairies and sunny mountain meadows in North America. They develop numerous and very colorful, multicolored, orange-red-yellow or pure yellow flowers on short to medium sized stalks throughout summer. Blanket flowers are easily cultivated in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot. They are very robust and adopt very well to various soil types. Sow flat in any rich, well drained soil. Keep pots in a sunny , protected spot outside. Several species require a cooling period of several months prior to germination. If these species are sowed late in the year, they do not germinate before spring in the following year. Transplant to the final spot in the garden in late summer to autumn. Annual species should be directly sown in the garden after the last freezing night in late autumn. All are USDA Climate Zone 6. 20 seeds per package. |
