Perennials Summer blooms |
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.
Bremen is a bi-coloured blanket flower variety with rich red blooms that have bright yellow margins. They sit on 60-70 cm tall, thin stems which give up to summer breeze that makes them look like yellow and red butterflies. It starts blooming mid July and continues until late summer or even early autumn if deadheaded regularly. Deciduous leaves are pale green.
Blanket flowers do best in full sun and free-draining, fertile soil (in boggy soil it will most certainly die). If you are worried about your soil type cut the plant back in late summer so it makes new basal growth that usually overwinters well. But in case of varieties with taller stems this practice is not usually necessary. In well-drained soil it is hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
