Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 15-30 days at 70-75°F. Thin seedlings to stand 12-18 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Indian Blanket is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Water occasionally during prolonged dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or allow some flowers to go to seed for self-sowing. This wildflower performs best in full sun and well-drained soil; avoid overwatering or rich, heavy soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Indian Blanket seeds (Gaillardia pulchella).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795494240566,"sku":"FOLIA2-014","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6689164460_6wze.jpg?v=1792670532","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/indian-blanket-seeds-gaillardia-pulchella-25-colorful-perennial-wildflower-seeds-for-pollinators","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
