Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist until germination; light aids germination, so do not cover deeply. Provide a warm, sunny spot and maintain even moisture during the germination period. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to the recommended spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlanket flower thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce watering as plants become drought-tolerant. Avoid overly rich or poorly drained soils, which can cause floppy growth or root rot. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, mulch lightly in winter to protect crowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Yellow Blanket Flower seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795492634934,"sku":"FOLIA2-002","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6708394331_shka.jpg?v=1792670496","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-yellow-blanket-flower-seeds-drought-tolerant-perennial-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
