'Blanketflower' was collected and catalogued by Lewis and Clark's "Corps of Discovery" expedition, "On dry hills on the Rocky-mountains," while navigating the Lewis and Clark Pass in Montana on July 7, 1806.

The blossoms are red with yellow tips and highlights blooming from summer into autumn. Blanketflower thrives in dry soil in a location that receives full sun. The plants grow eighteen to thirty inches in height. We also have great success growing them in pots on the patio.

A perennial in USDA zones 3-8.
Special Groups: Lewis & Clark
Genetic Classification: Open Pollinated

Have never grown blanketflower before, but I'm definitely doing more! They are a hardy flower with a lovely, cheerful bloom that seems to be decently long lasting!
