Just a hint of yellow on petal tips creates an ethereal glow as it peeks around the burnt red-orange flowers. Large daisy-like flowers blanket the gray-green foliage for dazzling contrast. Long-blooming, large flowerheads are pollinator favorites.

Compact, uniform and extremely long flowering, this series demonstrates excellent heat tolerance in all regions. Very drought resistant. Pairs nicely with the soft blues of perennial Geraniums. Completely carefree.

Gaillardia General Information

The common name of Gaillardia refers to the resemblance to brightly patterned Native American blankets - hence Blanket Flower. Extremely drought and heat tolerant, once established. From the early summer on, very showy banded flowers "blanket" this plant. The ends of the petals have a torn, ruffled appearance. Butterflies are drawn to it. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Gaillardia Plant Care

New plantlets can be started by cutting straight down along the side of a clump in midsummer. New plants will form at the severed roots. Completely carefee. Best in poor loose soils (no clay).
