Blanket flower is a non-native plant with a height of 1 to 1.5 feet. The blooms are red, yellow or red-yellow bicolor with dark centers. Blanket flower blooms from June to frost and attracts birds and butterflies. In areas where goldfinches are present, gardeners should consider leaving some spent flowerheads for the birds.
