    Overall rating: 3.5 / 5 from 2 reviews.

    These germinated well but no flowers. Maybe I should not have them in mulch? They are kind of skimpy too. I tried again without mulch. Hoping for a better outcome with the two packs I purchased. I’ve grown these in the past with no trouble.

    Store owner replied: Hello Deb Elle. Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear your Blanket Flower seeds germinated well, though we're sorry they didn't bloom as you had hoped. This is a perennial, so it's not uncommon for plants to spend much of their first season developing a strong root system before producing a full display of blooms. They often become much fuller and flower more abundantly in their second year. Full sun and well-drained soil will also help encourage the best performance. We are glad we were able to connect with you directly and provide some assistance. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you'll enjoy an even more beautiful display as your plants mature!

    Excellent germination on these. No blooms as of yet, but planted some out in the yard. It's pouring rain. No photos.
