Rose-ring blanket-flower is a cheerful, drought-tolerant annual or short-lived perennial that produces vibrant red, orange, and yellow daisy-like blooms all summer long. Plant it in full sun with well-draining soil and avoid overwatering, as it thrives in dry to average conditions. Deadhead regularly to prolong blooming and expect it to self-seed freely in the garden.
