Plant Care
Arizona Apricot Blanket Flower is remarkably easy to maintain and requires minimal attention. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. While drought-tolerant once established, provide moderate watering during the first growing season. This hardy perennial is resistant to deer and rabbits, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-prone gardens.
For optimal growth, fertilize sparingly in early spring with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer. Excessive fertilization can lead to reduced blooming and floppy growth. In late fall, cut back stems to about 6 inches above ground level to prepare for winter dormancy.
Planting Instructions
Plant Arizona Apricot Blanket Flower in spring or early fall, spacing plants 12-14 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
Choose a location with excellent drainage and full sun exposure for best flowering performance. While adaptable to various soil types, these plants thrive in well-draining, slightly sandy soils. Avoid heavy clay soils or areas where water tends to pool.
