Blanket Flower Mesa™ 'Bright Bicolour'
Blanket Flowers are valuable for their very long bloom season. They form a low mound of light-green leaves, bearing upright stems of large daisy-like flowers. This new mid-sized selection flowers the first year and features bright yellow petals with a wide red band on the inside surrounding the large brown cone. The width of the band depends on temperature, but the petals will usually be more yellow than red. Attractive to butterflies. Drought-tolerant once established. Not the best choice for heavy clay soil, especially if it remains wet through the winter. Removing faded flowers will encourage constant blooming. Comes in a 6-inch nursery pot.
