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:
Arizona Sun is probably the most striking blanket flower variety from the Arizona series. It has large flowers which combine rich yellow and vivid red colour. They open from early June until late September or early October if early autumn is sunny and warm. The stems are short which helps maintain a compact, mounding habit and form a dense, extremely free flowering cushion. Deciduous leaves are light green. Blanket flowers need full sun and well-drained soil that does not remain wet especially in winter. They withstand drought once established. Arizona series is supposed to be hardy to almost -37°C (USDA zone 3).
