A blanket flower of the Arizona Apricot variety is a perennial that enchants with its beauty. Its convex tufts of lush foliage and the bright colour of the flowers perfectly harmonizes with the summer decorations on flower beds and in containers. Blanket flowers belong to popular and commonly planted species. Now available in new, attractive varieties, they are a great material for decorating perennial beds and emphasizing the beauty of shrubs with colourful leaves. Presented variety produces flowers in shades of yellow and orange. Those large cups cover tops of thick bushy tufts and create a charming sight that beautifully harmonizes with other perennials. You will get the most of the decorative value of the presented variety by planting a few plants 30 to 50 centimetres apart, in rows or groups. Such grouping works well with tall phloxes or a group of Chinese asters. A combination of the sunny blanket flower with delicate ornamental grasses proves to be a successful pairing too.

The Arizona Apricot blanket flower offered here belongs to undemanding, easy-to-grow perennials that will effectively decorate your garden. It has low soil requirements and will thrive even in average soil. If you wish to achieve exuberant blanket flower tufts, plant it in quality, yet not overfertilized soil. This species produces magnificent flowers on sunny sites, but even partial shade should not hamper their development.

Cut blanket flower tufts low after the season - the plant will recover more vigorously next year.
