Gaillardia

Gaillardia (Blanket Flower) is pure sunshine in plant form, bursting with richly coloured, daisy-like blooms in fiery reds, oranges and golden yellows. Flowering for months on end from early summer right through to autumn, it’s perfect for hot, sunny borders, gravel gardens and patio pots where you want maximum colour with minimal fuss. Gaillardia is drought tolerant once established, thrives in well-drained soil, and is a magnet for bees and butterflies. Deadhead regularly to keep the flowers coming, or leave a few seed heads for late-season interest.
