Indian Blanket Flower

I was delighted (and surprised!) that these Indian Blanket Flowers came back this year - especially after winter storm Uri! I lost a couple of them but was able to dig up a strong, healthy plant and divide it up to fill in the gaps.

I thought I might be able to use a spade to just cut one in half while it was still in the ground, but that didn't work at all. You really need to dig up the whole plant and then gently separate out the roots into separate plants for this to work.

These line the sidewalk going up to my front door. Parts of it do get some full, blazing sun in the morning hours, but my cedar elm tree has grown so big that this is really turning into a mostly shady spot.
