What Makes Common Blanketflower a Good Choice?
Give blanketflower full sun and well-draining soil, and let it dry out between waterings once established. It needs little to no fertilizer, tolerates heat and poor soil, and rewards regular deadheading with continuous blooms all summer.

Give frangipani as much bright, direct sun as possible, water deeply only once the soil has dried out, and plant it in a very free-draining, sandy or gritty mix. It tolerates heat and short dry spells well but resents soggy roots, so err on the side of underwatering, especially during winter dormancy.
