Description

The listing, Red and Yellow Blanket Flower Seeds has ended.

This auction is for mixed red and yellow blanket flower seeds. I just harvested them from my own plants, there are 30 to 50 seeds which is plenty unless you want a HUGE bed of them.
The picture is a stock photo because I didn't far enough ahead to take a picture when mine were in bloom but rest assured mine were just as pretty.
Here is what a plant website has to say about blanket flowers:
Blanketflower
Gaillardia aristata (Asteraceae)

A hardy, drought tolerant perennial found throughout much of the United States. Easily established from seed, it frequently forms dense colonies of brilliant red flowers with yellow rims. Thrives in full sun in well-drained areas. Occasional watering will extend the blooming period. Allow seed heads to completely dry prior to trimming. This will aid in reseeding for the following year.

Average planting success with this species: 60%
Height: 18 to 24 inches
Germination: 15-45 days
Optimum soil temperature for germination: 70-75F
Sowing depth: 1/8"
Blooming period: May-September
Average seeds per pound: 132,000
Miscellaneous: One of the most adaptable perennial composites. An excellent cut flower with a vase life of 6 to 10 days.

I must have put the wrong picture. I don't know if I can change it now. I wonder how I did that?

I know what I did. The picture I wanted is called 'bf' for blanket flower. This picture I called 'bb' for B.B. Mink a character from a play I was in.
I listed another set of seeds (because I have a lot of them) and I used the right picture this time :)
