Blanket flowers love it hot and sunny, and will bloom right through summer and autumn, especially if you clip over to deadhead once in a while.

Unfussy about soil, cold tolerant, generous bloomers and fast-growing - you'll get colourful pots and borders quick smart, especially with some TLC with regular water and feeding.

Mesa Red is a compact variety with soft red flowers, friendly and full of warmth.

We love Mesa Red for the long flowering season, warm red colour, easy-going nature
