Brace yourself for a stunning display of large, deep red flowers from mid summer to early autumn with this gorgeous blanket flower. It is the essential, low maintenance summer flower and it will thrive in those hot, dry spots in the garden where many other plants will falter. Bees and butterflies tend to love it and it is perfect for a planting scheme based on hot colours. The brassy blooms will also make excellent and long-lasting cut flowers. - Garden care: Remove the spent flower-heads regularly regularly to prolong flowering. Cut the stems down to ground-level in autumn, lifting and dividing large clumps every third year
