Growing Blanket Flower The Words Most Drought Tolerant Perennial  #nativeperennials #gardening

Hey guys, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and here's our beautiful blanket flower. They're just now starting to bloom. This is an end of summer blooming plant, and let's see if I can't find another one blooming. Let's see here. Oh, here's a pretty one blooming. Look. So if you want blooms in the summertime, it's hard to find a flower that'll bloom in the summer. But blanket flower and black-eyed Susans— here's black-eyed Susans right here— will absolutely show theirself in, uh, summer, the end of summer and going into fall. And that's hard to find in a flower. Look, ain't that pretty? They attract birds because that big seed pod right there, see, when it turns wintertime, that'll dry out and it'll just be seeds for the birds. But we're sold out of, uh, let's see here, we're sold out of all the blanket flower until fall, but we will have, uh, more in the fall. And when you order in the fall, you'll get them in the fall and you plant them and they will absolutely put your eyes out the next summer when they start blooming. Uh, people wonder, why do you ship flowers in the fall? Well, fall is the absolute best time to plant any shrub, any flower, any fern. It gives them enough time to get used to that soil and grow throughout the wintertime. It gets them established. Ain't that cool?
