Gaillardia - Blanket Flower :: Arizona Sun
Product Description
A 2005 All-American Selection and winner of the 2005 Fleuroselect Gold Medal. This Blanket Flower is a compact and uniform perennial that produces masses of large, 3"; diameter, fiery orange-red blooms tipped by a ring of rich flame yellow. Butterflies are highly attracted to Arizona Sun's bright colors. Since Gaillardia bloom from early summer into fall, they will provide continuous color in containers and will keep those vases full of fresh blanket flower bouquets all season long.
These perennials require little care once established. They are heat tolerant and actually prefer to be grown in poorer soils.
