Blanket Flowers will look familiar because they are often included in wildflower seed mixes but they are native plants. The Red Dome Blanket Flower blooms from June to October and grows to about one foot in height in dense tufts. Leaves are mostly around the base and are cut deeply into narrow teeth. Petals have three lobes and are usually yellow but can be streaked with purple. The dried seeds can be ground into a powder then kneaded into seed butter and spread on bread. Traditionally the plant was used as a diuretic, taken to give relief from painful urination. A decoction of the plant was taken to treat heartburn and nausea, and a poultice applied externally for the treatment of gout. It was also used for bewitchment. Source.
