Perennial blanket flowers generally bloom from early summer to early fall, but may be delayed if seeds are planted in the garden in the spring. The National Gardening Association recommends starting them inside four to six weeks before the last expected frost in the spring.

How long does it take for blanket flowers to bloom?

Blooming from early to late summer, about 2-3 weeks earlier than comparative varieties, the daisy-like flowers retain their vibrant color all season and do not fade. This popular Blanket Flower forms a very uniform, compact, well-branched plant with a strong, upright habit.

Will blanket flowers come back?

You can choose to do nothing to blanket flowers in winter and they will likely come back through the previous season's wreckage just fine. You can also prepare the plant for better spring growth and appearance. If you choose to leave the plant alone and let ice and snow cover it, that is usually fine.
