Goldfinches love these seeds and there are 1000’s on every plant!This seed needs cold stratification or soaking to germinate. May not bloom until second year. But it is a perennial and will come back yearly. 100% Pure Seed – Non-GMO – Fresh for Season – can be planted in Spring, Summer or Fall PRODUCT INFORMATION Maximilian Sunflower is a tall (3-8 feet) perennial sunflower with yellow flowers up to 3 inches across. This plant’s tubers were an important food source for western tribes of Native Americans. Found from southern Canada south to North Carolina, Kentucky and Texas, this plant tolerates full to partial sun, dry to moderate moisture, and a wide range of soils. It blooms from late August to October and flowers attract honey bees and wild bees. Serves as an important wildlife plant – deer forage on leaves and birds eat the seeds. A way to insure germination is to cold stratify perennial seeds. Stratification. This is the most common way to break your seeds out of dormancy. Essentially, you are simulating a short winter for the seed by placing it in the refrigerator. Most seeds carry inhibitors that prevent them from germinating until warmer temperatures arrive in the spring. When the plant goes back to room temperature after being placed in the refrigerator, it is more likely to undergo germination. The length of the stratification process depends on your specific seed. Larger seeds often need to be placed in between wet paper towels before going into the refrigerator. For your smaller seeds, you’ll want to place them in a tray of soil. Add Light. Some seeds need sunlight to begin to germinate. Place your seeds on top of your soil for a few days and have a little bit of patience while expecting them to begin to germinate.Water. Soak the seeds in water overnight to soften the shell. We germinated them two ways. First we soaked in water overnight. Then one batch we put on top of dirt in pots spritzing them with water and they germinated in 10 days. Second batch in between two wet paper towels and they germinated in 7 days (see photo).

INDIAN BLANKET FLOWER 300+ Seeds Perennial Gaillardia Aristata Native Wildflower

300+ Blanket Flower Perennial Gaillardia Aristata Native Wildflower and Humming Bird Magnet Fresh for 2024… 100% Non-GMO seeds 300+ Blanket Flowers Seeds … Height grows up to 24″ PERENNIAL SUNFLOWER (comes back every year) Only $2.88 for over 300+ seeds! All Orders include Free shipping, But without tracking numbers… Gallardia Aristata Gaillardia Aristata, is also known as the blanket flower. It’s an easy-to-grow, perennial that will reseed itself with richly colored daisy-like flowers. This plant forms a slowly spreading mound, and the common name (Blanket flower) may be a reference to how they can slowly spread and blanket an area. These plants grow to about 24 inches in height with about a 20-inch spread. Blanket flowers are fast-growers and need little care. If grown from seed, they will bloom in their second year and will put out hundreds of large showy blooms of flowers, in bright shades of reds, yellows, and slightly orange colors throughout the warm season months all the way till fall. These perennial favorites are grown easily from seeds, and planted directly into your garden, sometime after the last frost date of winter (or started indoors about 4 to 6 weeks earlier). Blanket Flower Care Gaillardia X Grandiflora is fully hardy to flourish in USDA Zones 3 to 10. Due to extensive hybridizing, you will likely be able to find a variety to fit your zone and climate conditions. The flower can reseed and easily sprawl throughout your garden. Since the original plants are hybrids, expect some variations from the self-seeding process. Gaillardias are such long bloomers that they work equally well in borders and in containers. Blanket flowers do well with other heat-loving plants that thrive in full sun. The bold, daisy-like flowers blend especially well with soft textures, like thread-leaf Coreopsis and cosmos, as well as airy ornamental grasses. For more contrast, plant them with spiky plants like Kniphofia, Crocosmia, or daylilies. ‘Burgundy’ contrasts well with blue flowers, like Salvia and veronica. All the Gaillardia varieties make excellent cut flowers. Light These plants thrive best in full sun. The blanket flower can also handle partial shade, particularly in the hot climates. SoilGaillardia prefers poor soil. Do not amend with rich matter or overly fertilize. It is not particular about soil pH, but it does need well-draining soil. It will grow in somewhat moist conditions, but heavy clay soil will probably kill it. Water immediately after planting, water deeply to encourage good root development. Check soil frequently (every other day or so) to ensure the soil is moist but not soggy one inch below soil line. Once established, Gaillardia is extremely drought tolerant. It can go without watering unless there are extremely hot and dry conditions, then it’s best to water the bed once or twice per week. Avoid over-watering. Temperature and HumidityBlanket flowers thrive in full sun and can withstand hot summer temperatures. They do not require a humid environment and do better in hot, dry climates over cool, moist ones. In cooler climates, protect your overwintering blanket flowers with a thick layer of mulch. FertilizerPoor soils seem to encourage more flowering than rich soils, so go easy on (or avoid) the fertilizer. PruningBlanket flower does not require deadheading to keep blooming, but the plants will look better and be fuller if you do cut the stems back when the flowers start to fade. You will also get more continuous flowering with deadheading, so don’t be shy about it. Deadheading isn’t mandatory, but it may stimulate additional blooms. If the plant languishes in the heat of summer, cutting it back dramatically may reinvigorate it for good fall blooming. Propagating Blanket FlowersThere are seeds for many Gaillardia x Grandiflora varieties. You can sow them in the spring or Get a head start by sowing in late summer and protecting the young plants over the winter. Since the plants can be short-lived and hybrids don’t grow true from self-seeding, it is best to divide the plants every two to three years in the spring or fall to try to keep them going. Follow these steps to divide blanket flowers: Use a spade to dig a circle about 6 inches to 8 inches around the mound of blanket flowers that need dividing. Dig down about a foot to release the root ball. Lift the root ball from the soil using the spade. Shake the root ball slightly to remove some of the dirt to expose the roots. Gently tease roots apart with your fingers or use a sterile, sharp knife to divide into two or three clumps. Each clump should include a few shoots of foliage. Replant divisions in a prepared area that will allow the roots to spread. Once roots are covered with soil, water thoroughly to moisten the roots. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy, until you see the plant is no longer stressed, and then cut back on watering as you would with established blanket flowers. FAQ Are blanket flowers easy to grow? Blanket flowers are fairly foolproof if planted in any well-drained soil in a full-sun location. Do blanket flowers attract butterflies? Blanket flowers attract butterflies as well as small birds, like weed-eating finches, which are always a welcome addition to any garden. Common Names: blanket flower Botanical Name Gaillardia x Grandiflora Family Asteraceae Plant Type Herbaceous perennial Mature Size 24in. tall; 12 to 20in. spread Sun Exposure Full sun to partial sun Soil Type Poor, well-draining soil Soil pH 6.1 to 6.5 (slightly acidic) Bloom Time Repeat bloomer, summer through fall Flower Color Various shades of red, yellow, orange, or peach Hardiness Zones 3-10 (USDA); varies by variety Native Area Cultivated hybrid; parents are native North American wildflowers Toxicity Can be Slightly toxic to humans if consumed.

High yielding and heat tolerant. Prefers full sun exposure. How to Grow OkraOkra may not be a common vegetable found in a garden, but it makes for good canning and pickling. It also can be used in stews. Okra is a warm-weather plant often grown in southern climates. It has a taste similar to eggplant.Before Planting: Soak the okra in water for 12 to 18 hours prior to planting to soften the outer shell of the seed. Plant okra in the spring or early summer after the danger of frost has passed. In northern climates, plant okra indoors four to six weeks prior to the last frost date. Since okra can reach 6 feet tall, plant it in an area of the garden where its shade won’t harm other plants’ growth.Planting: For direct seeding, after frost danger, sow 2″ apart, 1/2″ deep when soil is warm – at least 70°F. Thin to 12-18″ apart. For transplanting, sow in 2″ pots, 2-3 seeds per pot, 1/4″ deep and thin to 1 plant when 2″ high. Start 4-5 weeks ahead of transplanting out after frost danger when soil is warm. Keep soil mix temp. 80-90°F for best germination rate. Transplant 12-18″ apart in rows 3′ apart. Do not disturb roots.Watering: Water 1 inch per week.Fertilizer: Prior to planting, mix a 10-10-10 fertilizer in with the soil. Once okra reaches 6 inches tall, give a side-dressing of fertilizer. Side-dress again two to three weeks later. Reapply the fertilizer every four to six weeks throughout its growing season.Days to Maturity: Okra is ready two months after planting. Pods should be approximately 3 inches long when harvested. (See each variety for days to maturity) Harvesting: Harvest promptly by clipping pods at 3-4″ long to keep plants productive. Oversized pods become tough and decrease overall yield of plant.Tips: Wear gloves when harvesting, because okra has spines. You don’t have to if you purchase a spineless variety like Blondy or Clemson Spineless Okra 80 (which we also carry).AVG.

Level with a rake to remove clumps of grass and stones.Plant 3-4 seeds every 12 inches in rows 36 inches apart.Cover with 1 inch of fine soil.Seedlings should emerge in 14-21 days.Thin to strongest seedling per group when plants are 1-2 inches high. How to GrowKeep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating. Avoid disturbing the soil around the plants when weeding.Keep plants well watered during dry periods to promote rapid, uninterrupted growth. Plants need about 1-1 ½ inches of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. It’s best to water with a drip or trickle system that delivers water at low pressure at the soil level. If you water with overhead sprinklers, water early in the day so the foliage has time to dry off before evening, to minimize disease problems. Keep the soil moist but not saturated.Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area. Harvest and Preserving TipsPick young okra pods that are 2-3 inches long and harvest them every other day to encourage continuous production. Cut the pods from the stem just above the cap.Store pods for several days in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.Okra pods are delicious steamed, in soups and fried.Okra may also be stored blanched and frozen. SEED STORINGStore your seeds in a cool, dry and dark location. Most seeds have a long shelf life, but heat and moisture will cut that life short. Dedicate a drawer or cabinet to storing your seeds where you can also house your gardening journal close at hand for dreaming, planning and preparing.Companion Planting for Okra! We have many of these – check our other auctions!What to Plant near OkraAn annual vegetable that thrives in warm regions, okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is a rapid grower. Extremely tall plants, okra can get up to 6 feet (2 m.) in height by the end of the summer. This makes it a useful companion in its own right to plants such as lettuce. The tall okra plants shield the tender greens from the hot sun. Plant lettuce between the okra plants of behind a row of emerging seedlings. Spring crops, like peas, make great companion plants for okra. These cooler-weather crops do well interplanted in the shade of okra. Plant a variety of spring crops in the same rows as your okra. The okra seedlings won’t crowd the spring plants until temps are higher. By then, you will have already harvested your spring crops (like snow peas), leaving the okra to take over space as it grows in earnest. Another spring crop, radishes marry perfectly with okra and, as an added bonus, peppers too. Plant both the okra and radish seeds together, 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm.) apart in a row. The radish seedlings loosen the soil as the roots grow, which allows the okra plants to grow deeper, stronger roots.Once the radishes are ready to harvest, thin the okra plants to a foot apart and then transplant pepper plants between the thinned okra. Why peppers? Peppers repel cabbage worms, which love to feed on young okra foliage. Finally, tomatoes, peppers, beans, and other vegetables are a great food source for stink bugs. Planting okra near these garden crops draws these pests away from your other crops. Not just veggie plants do well as companions for okra. Flowers, such as sunflowers, also make great companions. The brilliantly colored blooms attract natural pollinators, which in turn visit the okra flowers resulting in large, plump podsPlease print the planting instructions.
