Blanket Flower prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought, heat, and salt-tolerant and blooms from summer to fall, attracting bees and butterflies. Its seeds feed birds. 
 
Blanket Flower is native to the South and Mid-West, where it is a larval host. In our climate, it is a showy, long-season nectar source.
 
Its low profile makes it a welcome addition at the front of a border, the base of a container, or as a low layer in a meadow. Blanket flower looks amazing when planted in mass.
