Zone 10 may be too much for them. Could you try growing them as an annual? I don’t know if there are any hybrids suitable for zone 10, so you may want to call your local County Cooperative Extension Office and ask. As far as I know,they only survive zones 4-9 and like dry hot (rather than humid hot, like Florida.) Good luck!

Jeanne

I live on the west coast of Florida which is closer to being zone 10. Last year I planted blanket flowers and they seemed to succumb to the heat. Do you have any advice on keeping them alive where I live. I’d like to try to grow them again as I really like them. Thank you.
