The first time we saw this stunning
wildflower was roadside traveling by car in Florida in 1973.
Screeching brakes and smoking tires stopped the car so we could get a
close-up view of the glorious reds and yellows of this bloomer Not only is (1) Fire-wheel (2) Indian Blanket (3) Seaside Daisy (4) Blanket Flower native to Florida, this color-packed heavy bloomer is native to dozens of USA states and is the state wildflower of several states as well Indian Blanket is an annual in almost every state, including zones 5 and 6, and is perennial in zones 7, 8, 9 and 10. You can enjoy this intensive flower almost anywhere in the United States. It is extremely drought tolerant and will even grow in desert states Here's Indian Blanket with Florida native Beach Sunflowers You probably already notice there are color variations. Some flowers are more red, others more yellow. The reason is climate and soil. You see brilliant, daisy-like flowers with single, double, and semi double forms The large centers of the flowers are rose-purple and the dense, frilly petals are yellow, orange, crimson or copper scarlet. Indian Blanket flowers are 2-3 inches across with 18"-36" light green stems with slightly wavy leaves Indian Blanket is also very happy in poor soil, even beach sand as Indian Blanket is extremely salt tolerant as well. Almost any soil is just fine except wet clay This extremely hardy wildflower blooms profusely. Great for cutting. 'Lollipops' will last for about a week when cut and placed in water. Lovely as borders and bedding plants Great in carefree pots as well Indian Blanket is at its best in hot sunny areas Perennial states zones 7 through 10 need do nothing to propagate Indian Blanket as either the plant will come through the winter or the seeds will sow themselves and re-sprout in spring. Colder zones can either protect roots from freezing or collect seeds to sow in spring. In seed, Indian Blanket looks like this...
