Gaillardia cvs.

Blanket flower is an incredibly attractive and easy to maintain perennial, favored by gardeners for its bright, bold colors and its ability to keep flowering in poor soil and drought conditions. The flowers of this species sprout from compact tufts of thin, grass-like foliage. The daisy-like blooms come in a range of shades including red, yellow, and orange, some with red tips or mixed petal colors. Blanket flower is relatively easy to grow and maintain, and will come back for many years. They prefer full sun and moderate to low water requirements.
