Description

Sometimes referred to as “Firewheel,” Indian Blanket is one of the showiest wildflowers around. A super-easy annual that grows one to two feet in height, it blooms from May to July and sometimes later, and appears just as the Texas Bluebonnets are finishing. We suggest that you find a sunny corner in the yard to plant Indian Blanket. You can plant the seeds in the late Fall or very early Spring, and there is no need to till before planting – just scalp the grass and rake the area, so that the seeds make good soil contact. When the blooms are spent and seeds are mature, simply mow down the plants – and don't be surprised if you get another group of plants in the Fall! As long as you allow the seeds to mature before you mow, you will continue to have a beautiful show of blooms each Spring.
