Love Blanket flower... as it's a great transition plant to all those fall colors we love. Love that they help butterflies and bees too! And, I like the size. What a blessing that they thrive without so much water.
Hey Marc! 👋 Thank you for saying that and for being here! We are trying to get caught up on everyone comments and this one was definitely overdue. We truly appreciate you being here and definitely at our weekly lives. You add so much to our Saturday Garden Chats and have fun ideas to share with everyone! We hope to see you this coming Saturday and until then, have a great day and week! 😃👍
@@SpokenGarden missed you guys last weekend hope everything is ok.....tell Sean great short on the plant shopping....that has to be one of the most useful ones EVERY gardener should watch.😀
My blanket flower stem turned purple and it's droopy Not sure if it's shocked but soil I'm using is Fox Farm Ocean Forest and growing in a pot Plant was shipped from South Carolina to California
Hi Sabah!! 👋👋 Thank you for asking your question and for watching our video. We would say you can overwinter your blanket flower by, first making sure it is hardy in your area (what hardiness zone is it rated compared to the hardiness zone you live in), then if hardy in your area, you can bring the container up to set against or very near your home, shed, garage, greenhouse, or other structure. This way it will receive residual heat from the structure that will help with keeping your plants roots from getting too hard of a freeze. Even if the plant is hardy in your area, it's roots are still exposed being in a container that is above the ground (if planted in the ground your plants roots would be completely insulated from any freezing above ground temperatures). You can also add about 1-2 inches of wood mulch to the surface of your containers soil to insulate the plants crown and roots even more. We did this to our containers and here is that link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8pQuxBbMKXg.html Hope all this helps and thank you again for watching! 😉😊👍👍
Yes, have been growing blanket flowers since last year…yellow then, but this year I found a red variety…i think I ended up with 24 seedlings this year. Can’t wait to plant them outside in late May.
I just bought some Arizona Sun Blanket Flowers...........so pretty..........and I'm going to plant them tomorrow. I was really wondering how to properly deadhead them and you explained that so well! Thank you!
@@SpokenGarden I don't know how to do instagram but will figure it out. It's raining today so it is patiently waiting for me to plant it. Looks awesome though with lots of buds and 2 blossoms.
