MNL Corp Blanketflower

Blanketflower thrives in full sun, which means it needs at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. If planted in partial shade, you will likely see fewer blooms and the stems may become leggy or weak.

Yes, Blanketflower is highly drought-tolerant once established. While it needs regular watering during its first few weeks to settle in, it is naturally adapted to dry conditions and can handle periods of neglect without issue.

It is considered deer-resistant, meaning deer typically avoid it because they find the texture or taste unappealing. However, no plant is completely deer-proof, especially if food sources are scarce in your area.

You can expect a long, vibrant season of red and yellow flowers from May through September. Deadheading spent blooms throughout the summer can often encourage the plant to produce even more flowers.

Blanketflower grows between one and four feet tall, so it works well in garden beds, meadows, or pollinator patches. While it can be grown in containers, ensure the pot has excellent drainage, as this plant prefers drier soil conditions.
