If there is a perennial heaven, there must be plenty of blanket flowers. This is such a beautiful flowering plant that should not be missing in any bed where bright colours and summer flowering are key features.Description of the plant:
SUNBURST™ is a successful blanket flower series that consists of compact, low growing varieties flowering profusely all summer long. SUNBURST™ Red With Yellow Tip is quite similar to Kobold i.e. large flowers with red rays with yellow ends but this one makes very short stems thanks to which it forms a neat cushion. The leaves are narrow and rich green.
Growing conditions and care
Blanket flower blooms from June until early autumn. Place in full sun and make sure the soil is free draining – in boggy soil it will most certainly die over winter. Hardy to about -29°C (USDA zone 5).
