What can I do to get my Blanket Flowers to bloom?

Question

We planted Blanket flowers last year and they are returning nicely this year. However, they just keep growing and haven’t produced any flower buds yet. Is there something I should do?
Thanks,
Julie

Answer 1

They may have to much Nitrogen in the soil.
You can correct this by adding Phosphorus. Bone Meal is an excellent way to do so.
