Design Tips
Blanket flower grows and flowers very fast, adding bright patterns of color in new gardens. Blanket Flower (Gaillardia aristata) can be short-lived but is worth the initial show. It often persists by spreading seed, but the new plants often aren’t as big as the originals.
Note: Like most Blanket Flowers in the nursery trade, this is likely a hybrid Gaillardia x grandiflora.
