Where It Grows
Blanketflower (Gaillardia aristata) is native to the Rocky Mountains and northern Great Plains, where it thrives in open prairies, dry meadows, and mountain slopes from the high desert to subalpine elevations.
Native states: AZ, CO, ID, MT, ND, OR, SD, UT, WA, WY
Best suited for: Full sun, well-drained to dry soil, low to moderate moisture. Exceptionally drought-tolerant once established; does poorly in wet or heavy clay soils.
RAKE
Clear away weeds and debris, then rake the soil until it’s loose and fluffy. Good prep helps the seeds make proper contact with the soil.
SHAKE
Shake pellets directly from the seed shaker. Because each pellet contains a single seed, spacing stays even and planting is controlled.
PRESS
Walk over the area or press the pellets into the soil with your hands or feet. This helps keep them in place and improves seed-to-soil contact.
WATER
Keep the soil consistently moist for the first 14 days to kickstart germination.
