Thank you. They are blooming in my garden right now.

[@Rach.Filippone]

thanks! I just received my seeds that I ordered in the mail. I just planted them hoping to see some sprouting soon

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It may be a little late for these depending upon where you live but if they can overwinter it's fine

[@Rach.Filippone]

@@EasyPeasyGardening We live in central Florida so I think we will be ok, thanks!

[@Rach.Filippone]

Wow, I already have some sprouting, it's only been 3 days! 🤯

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Growing blanket flower from seeds with 0% knowledge and it has been 3days. This is not common flower here so I'm not sure if they will sprout but I hope they will. Your video is very helpful and just wow. Tyvm for sharing.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Winters is not the best time to grow from seeds. However my plants from last year that I had pruned in fall have started growing now

[@sunshine5349]

[@ea313712]

Great video ! I heard that these seeds require and germinate better with much light until germination?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I lightly covered them with soil and they grew just fine

[@geraldthorburn6484]

Superb video. Very clear. I only 'discovered' _Gallardia_ this year. I couldn't quite catch the fourth thing you said when potting up initially @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="84">1:24</a> ... it sounded like 'cocoa feed' ...?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Coco peat

[@RoyalOnePrince]

Ruchi this video was very helpful. Quick question how long did it take you to grow them from seeds to bloom from your video it seems like 2-2.5 months?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

About 3 months

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

But now I overwinter them so next season they regrow much faster

[@julievasquez2579]

so i can grow these in pots and dont need to be put into the ground is that correct? Sorry very new to this.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes you can

[@sarvasya4627]

Very nice.In how much time buds comes on the plant if we grow by seeds?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Probably 10 weeks

[@DollyPistola]

Hi . There are so many compost . Which compost should I use ? Thank you .

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Any compost is fine. I make it myself and also get some from the city

[@skipleft]

Have indian blanket growing in pots because plan on transferring them in late summer along Central California coast,along with narrowleaf milkweed and New England Aster My question:will Indian Blanket attract monarchs during Fall?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I haven't seen that many monarchs on blanket flowers

[@merishitagupta]

I have this flower in 2 colours but now they wont grow .. I have tried many times ... let's give it one more try after watching your video..hope it works

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Are you saying that plants are not growing from seeds? Or are you saying you have plants but they don't grow?

[@merishitagupta]

​@@EasyPeasyGardeningI'm saying that they won't grow from seeds 😑 I think I failed this time also 😢

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

@merishitagupta hmm...that's too bad

[@taylornapier1300]

Maybe try cold stratification

[@merishitagupta]

@@taylornapier1300 what is it ? Can you explain it for me

[@sweetyme007]

Nice video. I had planted Sunflower seeds. It have nice seedlings and I transplanted 4 of them in a small pot. Second day 3 of them died. I think immediately I put them in direct sunlight after transplanting...will they grow further or should I throw??

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

They may survive, let them be there with the one surviving

[@sweetyme007]

@@EasyPeasyGardening yes they all are together but 3 of them are in a very bad shape. Two r still standing strong. They all are in indirect sunlight.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

@@sweetyme007 slowly start giving them more sunlight otherwise they may become leggy

[@sweetyme007]

@@EasyPeasyGardening yes u r right. They are already become leggy. From tomorrow I will keep them in sunlight. Thanks so much for replying ma'am.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

@@sweetyme007 give them sun little by little otherwise they may scorch

Where are you growing these - what zone ?

[@southbridgeforestHOA]

this flower also comes in a dwarf vareity if you want something shorter

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Good to know

[@gauranshslifestyle....alwa525]

Hi Can we plant this plant in well light area but less suny area?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

The flowers will be less if you did that

[@blefnefnef]

I can second what@ Easy Peasy Gardening said; I tried growing some this year, and it almost died in a shaded area, but is doing well in full sun. Hardy plant though. Came back 2 or 3 times after almost dying, and is now thriving.

[@tessperez3639]

Great info. Its end of August here in Canada can I still sow seeds ? If so what do 8 do in the winter?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

No it's too late for this year

[@CentralCanada]

Here in southwestern Canada, I tend to harvest the seeds while cleaning up in the spring, last falls dormant/deadfall left overwinter for any wildlife and insect food/habitat. Spreading the seed from spring into the fall, fluffing up the soil so the seeds acquire a lite coverage of soil (natural), and then pack it down lightly, dampen till first snowfall. And whenever a snowfall skim some uncontaminated snow and toss over the growing area. This tends to allow natural germination and sprouting into next spring. My native Plantings are historically rain water fed also from rain barrels, no city water. Ps Avatar is a August pic of a portion of the front yard space, this shot a portion of the black-eyed Susan (seed) plantings with a recently birthed native hare' 1 of 3 hiding in amongst/below the foliage. The last couple yrs with drought conditions and less foliage, rabbits have chosen birthing locations with better coverage. !
