Blanket Flower - Gaillardia
>
Blanket Flower Gaillardia aristata 'Arizona Sun'
Loose clumps of fuzzy, upright stems topped with daisy-like flowers form a blanket of blooms.
Xerces Society - special value to native bees. Blanket Flowers are valuable for their very long season of bloom. This selection blooms profusely even in the first year, forming a low, compact mound. Flowers are large flame-orange daisies with golden-yellow tips, appearing from June into the autumn. Thrives in hot, sunny sites. Attractive to butterflies. Drought tolerant once established. Not the best choice for heavy clay soil that will stay wet through the winter. Removing faded flowers will encourage constant blooming. An All America Selections and Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner.
Blooms summer to fall.
Deer resistant, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, winter hardy, container
