In 2005, this outstanding perennial was honored with both the All-American Selection and the esteemed Fleuroselect Gold Medal. Compact and uniformly structured, it boasts an abundance of fiery orange-red blooms, each measuring 3 inches in diameter and adorned with a ring of vibrant flame yellow. These vibrant hues are irresistible to butterflies, enhancing the garden's charm.

With a flowering period extending from early summer to fall, this perennial ensures a continuous burst of color, making it perfect for containers and providing a steady supply of fresh blanket flower bouquets throughout the season.

Once established, these perennials require minimal maintenance. Thriving in heat and less fertile soils, they aptly earn their name from their historic tendency to blanket North American prairies with their magnificent blooms.
