One of our shorter growing wildflowers, this will work well in flower beds and prairies and prefers full sun (at least 6 hours a day) and well-drained soils. It's known to have a long bloom time.
Indian Blanket produces a similar bloom, but is an annual.

Plant shallow, no deeper than 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep and lightly rake to work seed in. Plant in full sun. Can take up to 3 growing seasons to establish.
