Let me share with you some BEST TIPS on how to care for Blanket Flowers and TRICKS to get MAXIMUM flowers! I have LOTS of Blanket Flowers (or Gaillardia) in my full sun gardens here in Coastal North Carolina. Blanket Flowers love my sandy soil here, and I can easily fulfill their full sun requirement to get plentiful, long lasting blooms!
My Carolina Garden is located in Southeastern NC, in growing zone 8A. I have many perennials in my garden that spread easily (hello Blanket Flowers!). Hope this video gave you plenty of best tips and tricks for how to care for Blanket Flowers (full sun perennials)in YOUR garden! (Yay to drought tolerant flowers!)
For more on gardening in North Carolina, and seeing how Blanket Flower blossoms are a huge part of my landscape, stick with me!

Wow thank you, Just got some of these seeds, Deer and Drought resistant. An awesome $3.50 spent, they are so gorgeous. Its nice to see a video of them full grown, thanks,

@mycarolinagarden 4 месяца назад

Oh great! I hope you have as much success with them as I have! They are such awesome bloomers, I hope they bring you lots of joy!

We planted some Gaillardia from the SpinTop series, and various sites indicate they grow about 12-15" high and wide, which seems a good deal more compact than the variety you were documenting. We spaced them 18-20" apart rather than 12-15" apart here in Central Texas (zone 8b) because I suspect they'll be a bit larger than tagged.

They sound wonderful! I hope they are magnificent performers for you! 🏵

Greetings from Barbados, I came across your channel only this morning. I love the blanket flower plant, I have one and it spread like crazy no wonder it’s called blanket lol, I cut it in half and it’s flowering so nice again. Your garden is really beautiful.

I live in the Suwannee River Basin which includes the Suwannee and tributaries. Withlacoochee River, Alapaha, Santa Fe River and Ichetucknee River. We are about to have black eyed Susans covering the ditches along with those beauties. I also grow them in rock gardens in the backyard. They are about to go put on their summer spring show

That sounds so amazing!!! You'll have lots of blooms to enjoy! 💚😊

I just found a nice I have it in a raised bed now,I live in mount Vernon Indiana, it's full sun an south side ❤ plant loves , 😅 question do you just leave the dead ones you didn't mention dead heading? Yes /No

@mycarolinagarden 22 дня назад

Oh gosh yes, I spend more time than I'd like deadheading these 😅

@skywalker7297 9 месяцев назад

Great video, I was wondering when to harvest the seeds. First year growing blanket flower, it looks fantastic growing next to my red & yellow marigolds.

@mycarolinagarden 9 месяцев назад

Hi there! Honestly, I don't harvest the seeds. The plants actually self-seed so much that I just let that happen and then transplant my new plants wherever I want (or give them away). I transplant in the Spring 😊🌼

@brianramsey3824 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for pointing out the stages of bloom first year purdy flower grower I was wondering if they benefited from deadheading but as u reminded me lordy if they they have the green centers they arent spent they are just starting

@mycarolinagarden 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for your message! Having a visual can be so helpful so you can compare. But yes, holy cow, deadhead and get long lasting blooms! 😁 Good luck with yours!! 🌼

@josealeman332 10 месяцев назад

aAh your garden looks so pretty, I have one of these plants for 3 years but it was short short, like6 inches tall and produced crazy amount of flowers, I kill it at the beginning of this year by mistake :(, I guess it drop some seeds which they never work before and I have a brand new plant but this one, the flowers look the same but the plant is tall, this year was hard to find this plant , and now almost summer over I see few for sale but very expensive, going to try to save seeds this year.

@mycarolinagarden 10 месяцев назад

Ahh! First, thank you for your kind words! Secondly, you are right, the cost of plants this year has been outrageous! 😳 I hope you can save seeds and get another plant for next year. I have so much deadheading to do on them, it's insane. Good luck!!

@moisnhcrnr 29 дней назад

If I plant these next to my lawn, and if they go to seed, will they start to grow in my lawn? Or would the lawn be too thick for them to germinate?

@mycarolinagarden 29 дней назад

I personally get a few here or there in my grass that I take out, but it's not nearly as much as in other areas.

@Raina430 5 месяцев назад

Thank you that was great I really like your presentation! I’ve grown blanket flowers in the desert for years. And I have always found that after the first season they get long and leggy, they fall over and they look really ratty. For the first time ever I see your plants are bushy and mounding. How on earth do you get that to happen? Is it our weather? Mine have never looked anything like that. Any thoughts?

@mycarolinagarden 5 месяцев назад

Hi there! Hmm... the first thing I'm thinking is maybe we have different species? I read there are at least 25 kinds, so maybe that's it? I would have no idea what mine are, as they originally came from "the wild" and not a nursery. Do yours die back in the Winter? Mine do, and if yours don't, that is the only other thing I could think of. I definitely don't do anything special with mine.

@dustyflats3832 11 месяцев назад

We have extreme drought this year and it needs water in my sandy soil.

@mycarolinagarden 11 месяцев назад

Gosh the weather has been so crazy this year with some places being so dry and others getting continual rain. I hear you with the sandy soil!

@dustyflats3832 11 месяцев назад

@@mycarolinagarden it’s a sad thing and they say hotter next year.

@mikelaba8985 Месяц назад

Can you dead head these in the fall to keep them shorter?

@mycarolinagarden Месяц назад

I'm honestly not sure. I dead head them throughout summer because of the seeds, but maybe if you trim lower on the stem that would do the trick?
