Blanket Flower Seeds
Blanket Flower, commonly called Gaillardia aristata, is a perennial wildflower native to North America. It is similar to Indian Blanket flower. It is a member of the sunflower family and is known for its bright, daisy-like flowers that feature red or yellow petals with distinct markings of red, orange, or brown in the center. The plant typically grows to a height of 1 to 2 feet and can spread up to 2 feet wide. Gaillardia aristata blooms from early summer to fall, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to its colorful flowers. It is a popular choice for gardeners and is often used in wildflower meadows or as a border plant in gardens. The blanket flower is also drought-tolerant and easy to care for, making it a great option for low-maintenance landscaping.

How to grow
Choose a location: Blanket flowers thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. Choose a spot in your garden that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Prepare the soil: Make sure the soil is well-draining by adding compost or sand if necessary. You can also mix in some slow-release fertilizer to give your seeds a boost. Plant the seeds: Blanket flower seeds can be planted directly in the soil in spring or fall. Sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 6-12 inches apart. Water the soil gently to keep it moist but not saturated. Care for your plants: Once the seedlings emerge, thin them out to about 6-12 inches apart. Water the plants regularly, but be careful not to overwater. Deadhead the spent flowers to encourage new growth. Enjoy your blooms: Blanket flowers will bloom from early summer to fall and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Cut the flowers for bouquets or leave them on the plant to enjoy in your garden.
