Plant with Blanket Flower
Green Thumb Guide
Thrives in most well draining soils. Water deeply and regularly during first growing season to establish extensive root system, then reduce frequency; tolerates mild drought. To prevent reseeding, cut back old flower heads in spring.
These characteristics apply to the greater Sacramento area and nearby regions.
