Hello, I am your local buzz creator

I grow and thrive during the summer months and stick around until September. Can you believe it… being that happy in this heat? I just need a slight extra drip to keep my head up.

My name is Native Blanket Flower.

You may think you saw me at Home Depot, but...that is a non-native Southern bette, a far cousin of mine called ‘Tickseed’. Sadly enough, big box(and some small) retailers keep introducing plants from elsewhere. These plants invade our territory and claim our land as theirs. Not cool.

Tons of bees zoom around me. I am attracting them by my sexy, delightful nectar. Zoom, zoom, zoom.... Let me share some love with you, as well!
