How to Plant and Care for Blanket Flower Seeds - Burgundy

Starting Seeds
Begin by sowing Blanket Flower seeds directly into the soil in early spring, after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. If starting indoors, sow the seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost, using a seed-starting mix. Press the seeds lightly into the soil and keep them moist but not soggy. Germination typically takes 10-14 days.

Transplanting Seedlings
Once the seedlings have grown large enough to handle and the weather is warm, transplant them into the garden. Space the plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth. If transplanting from pots, be sure to handle the plants gently to avoid damaging their delicate roots.

Watering
Blanket Flowers are drought-tolerant once established, but they do need regular watering during their early growth stages. Water the plants at the base, avoiding overhead watering that can lead to fungal issues. Once the plants are established, they will only require watering during extended dry periods.

Lighting
Plant your Burgundy Blanket Flowers in full sun to ensure they thrive. These plants need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to produce an abundance of flowers. They do not tolerate shady conditions and may become leggy and produce fewer blooms in low-light environments.

Soil Requirements
Blanket Flowers prefer well-drained, moderately fertile soil. They tolerate poor soil conditions and can thrive in sandy or rocky soil, making them perfect for dry or low-nutrient areas. However, the soil should not remain soggy, as this can lead to root rot.

Fertilizing
While Blanket Flowers are low-maintenance, applying a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring can help promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Harvesting and Propagating Blanket Flowers

Seed Saving
To save seeds for future planting, allow the flowers to bloom and mature into seed heads. Once the seed heads are dry, collect the seeds and store them in a cool, dry place. These seeds can be saved for planting in the next growing season.

Division
Blanket Flowers can also be propagated by dividing the plant every few years. Carefully dig up the plant and separate the roots into smaller sections, ensuring each section has a healthy amount of root material. Replant the divisions in the garden or in new containers to expand your collection of Burgundy Blanket Flowers.
