FREE: Indian Blanket Wildflower Seed Head (about 50 seeds)

The listing, Indian Blanket Wildflower Seed Head (about 50 seeds) has ended.

Just discovered Listia and think it is a wonderful idea! I really like the ability to share seeds and plants with others. What a great way to be able to try out new and possibly hard to find plants.

My first listing is for one seed head from an Indian Blanket (Firewheel). Each seed head should contain at least 50 seeds. The one that I took apart for the photo had around 70. I will be sending the seed head intact to allow you to pull it apart before planting. The seeds are said to keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 years.

I just took these photo's and collected seed heads this morning. I only chose the heads that were brown and ready. We have had the flowers growing and multiplying for many years now. Brought some back from Central Texas as cut flowers years ago (they make great cut flowers) and the rest is history. The Indian Blankets are growing in the most inhospitable place in our yard. Very dry, gravel slope. We are in the middle of the worst drought in history here, and they are doing great! Excellent for those dry areas that nothing else will grow in. They will re-seed by themselves and spread nicely.

They will be shipped in a ziplock bag inside a first class envelope the next day. I will even include an information sheet with a photo of the flower. That way you don't lose track of what the seeds were and what the flowers look like. I know that has happened to me on more than one occasion.

I will be getting the information from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center here in Texas. If you would like to learn more about this wonderful flower now, you can visit the site at:
