It prefers full sun and dry to medium, well-drained soils. This species is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for poor, sandy, or rocky soils where few other flowers flourish. Too much moisture or poorly drained soil can shorten its lifespan, as the plant dislikes consistently wet conditions.

The flower heads are striking—large daisy-like blooms with red to orange centers surrounded by petals tipped in yellow, creating a warm, “sunset” effect. It typically blooms from early summer into fall, offering months of color. Blanket flower spreads modestly by self-seeding rather than by rhizomes, allowing it to naturalize gently in garden settings.

In gardens, it’s ideal for pollinator gardens, borders, and rock gardens.

Lance-shaped leaves are whorled up long stems that terminate in compact panicles of striking bright blue star-shaped flowers that offer up a showy display. The flowers attract various long-tongued insects, including the Large Carpenter Bee and hummingbird moths. Narrow beanlike pods will often form after flowering and can offer additional late-season interest. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardiness Zone:  4-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative Region: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bonap.net\/MapGallery\/State\/Amsonia%20tabernaemontana.png\" title=\"BONAP Map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBONAP Map\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBONAP Map Key Color Guide: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bonap.org\/MapKey.html\" title=\"Map Color Key\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMap Color Key\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun Exposure:  Full to Partial Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlower Color:  Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloom Time:  April, May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil Type:  Moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature Plant Size:  2-3'H, 2-3'W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Spacing:  2'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHost Plant:  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.butterfliesandmoths.org\/species\/Satyrium-titus\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCoral Hairstreak \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts:  Bees, Butterflies, Hummingbirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvantages:  Deer resistant, fall foliage interest, neatly shaped, tolerates different soil types \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLandscape Uses:  Accent, Butterfly garden, cottage gardens, meadows, perennial borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompanion Plants:  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bagleypondperennials.com\/collections\/all\/products\/blue-wild-indigo-baptisia-australis\" title=\"Blue Wild Indigo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlue Wild Indigo\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Foxglove Beardtongue\" href=\"https:\/\/bagleypondperennials.com\/collections\/all\/products\/foxglove-beardtongue-penstemon-digitalis\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFoxglove Beardtongue\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"New England Aster\" href=\"https:\/\/bagleypondperennials.com\/collections\/all\/products\/new-england-aster-symphyotrichum-novae-angliae\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNew England Aster\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Wild Columbine\" href=\"https:\/\/bagleypondperennials.com\/collections\/all\/products\/wild-columbine-aquilegia-canadensis\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRed Columbine\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bagley Pond Perennials","offers":[{"title":"Quart","offer_id":33088491520103,"sku":"BPQ100","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Trade Gallon","offer_id":33094252527719,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Plug 5 Pack","offer_id":52732806791484,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Tray of 50 Plugs","offer_id":52980523467068,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0047\/1636\/3879\/files\/iStock-474348710.jpg?v=1737125284"},{"product_id":"hairy-beardtongue-penstemon-hirsutus","title":"Hairy Beardtongue - Penstemon hirsutus","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhonetic: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePEN-stem-on \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eher-SOO-tus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA versatile native for garden and landscape, this diminutive penstemon is very tough and adaptable to a range of well-drained soils, in full sun and partial shade.
