This blanket flower has peachy-orange petals fading to yellow tips, with yellow eyes, and grows about 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. The leaves are long, deeply lobed, and grey green. Use in the perennial border, in rock gardens, or meadowy spaces. There are some planted at the Washington Square Garden, at the west end.
Grow in well drained soil in full sun. Not particular about soil type, including poor or clay soils, as long as they are not wet. Extremely heat tolerant. Deadhead to maintain a tidy appearance, or let the flowers go to seed, adding stock to your garden, and feeding the birds. The seed heads are charming round balls and both flowers and seed heads make nice cut flowers. Will reseed in the garden, so deadhead if that thought bothers you.
