These gorgeous flowers absolutely pop in the garden, producing non-stop blooms from early summer-hard frost. They crawl with bumblebees, especially through the fall - non only for food, but as a soft sleeping bed in the cooling temperatures.
Blanket Flower need full sun and love the heat. I have them all over my property, in every type of soil - once established, they are happy as long as there's sun. Deadheading will keep the flowers prolific. A beautiful cut flower, tucked among amaranth, white phlox and sunflowers in a late summer bouquet.

Butterflies, bees and hummingbirds love this plant's nectar, making Dense Blazing Star an excellent addition to pollinator gardens. Birds then eat the seeds through the winter.
I love the whimsical, long-lasting, bright, feathery pop of purples as it grows and flowers from the top down - truly unique. I grow it among White (dwarf) Lavender, Lance-Leaf Coreopsis, Spotted Bee Balm and Blanket Flower.

This tall, stately beauty grows freely in my shaded woodland garden among Bluestem Goldenrod, Poke Milkweed, Foam Flower and Astilbe. I love the drama and texture she provides! And the name truly lives up: you can twist the flowers whatever direction you'd like, and they will "obedient"-ly stay.
I keep Obedient Plant in check by surrounding it with other strong native plants, and regularly pulling out new shoots - these are very easy to spot, and shallow. It provides much-needed late season food for pollinators.

A lovely pink to brighten the border
Type: perennial flower
Height: 2-3 ft.

Moisture: drought tolerant after established.
Planting: Sow seeds into cell packs and press into the soil. They need light to germinate so only lightly dust with soil on top or vermiculite.
Harden off* before planting outdoors.
* Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors! Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements! Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards. First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun. Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!
Bloom time: Summer to fall
