PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blanket Flower Seeds
Blanket Flower or “Blanketflower” is a stunning native perennial wildflower with richly colored, daisy-like flowers. The plant produces intricately colored petals of alternating red and yellow hues. Blanket Flower Seeds can be planted successfully anywhere in the USA, but this species is especially beloved in arid areas with limited drainage.
Gaillardia forms a slowly spreading mound and the common name may be a reference to how they can slowly spread and "blanket" an area.

How to Grow Blanket Flowers
Blanket flowers are fairly foolproof if planted in any well-drained soil in a full-sun location. They also grow easily from seeds planted directly in the garden after the last frost date (or started indoors about 4 to 6 weeks early).
Deadheading isn't mandatory, but it may stimulate additional blooms. If the plant languishes in the heat of summer, cutting it back dramatically may reinvigorate it for good fall blooming.
Light
Full sun is what these plants love best! The blanket flower can handle some partial shade, particularly in hot climates, but they will get a bit floppy and will not flower as profusely.
Soil
Gaillardia is not particular about soil pH, but it does need well-draining soil. It will grow in somewhat moist conditions, but heavy clay soil will probably kill it.
Water
Immediately after planting, water frequently (every other day or so) until you see the flowers. Once established, Gaillardia is extremely drought tolerant. It can go without watering unless there are extremely hot and dry conditions, then it's best to water the bed once or twice per week. Avoid overwatering.
Temperature and Humidity
Blanket flowers thrive in full sun and can withstand hot summer temperatures. They do not require a humid environment and do better in hot, dry climates over cool, moist ones.
Fertilizer
Poor soils seem to encourage more flowering than rich soils, so go easy on (or avoid) the fertilizer.
Pruning
Blanket flower does not require deadheading to keep blooming, but the plants will look better and be fuller if you do cut the stems back when the flowers start to fade. You will also get more continuous flowering with deadheading, so don't be shy about it.
