Barbican Yellow Red Ring Blanket Flower

Since the Barbican reaches a mature width of 18 inches, you should space them approximately 18 inches apart, center-to-center, to allow for proper airflow and a full, rounded appearance.

While the plant is naturally prolific, removing spent blooms will encourage it to produce even more flowers throughout the season. It is a simple way to maintain a tidy look and extend the bloom time.

Yes, this variety is considered deer resistant, meaning it is generally less appealing to deer than other garden plants. However, no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce.

Once established, this plant is quite drought-tolerant and prefers dry to average water conditions. You should only need to water it during extended dry spells, as it is designed to be a waterwise addition to your landscape.

This blanket flower is hardy down to Zone 4, making it a reliable perennial in many colder regions. It is well-adapted to survive winter temperatures in these zones once it has settled into the garden.
