How to grow blanketflower

Gaillardia aristata

When to plant blanketflower

This taprooted perennial grows well in hot, dry sites in full sun and is propagated by seed or division in spring. Space plants 12 to 36 inches apart; it may need supplemental water during extended drought.

Blanketflower is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
