Blanket Flower Plants

The cheerful and sun-loving perennial (or in some cultivars short-lived perennial) Gaillardia (commonly called “blanket flower”) lights up garden beds with vibrant daisy-like blooms—typically in shades of red and orange fringed with yellow—that open in early summer and often last well into fall. Its compact mounds of grey-green foliage stand about 30–45 cm tall (some up to 60 cm) and flourish in full sun with well-drained, even dry to average soils—making it especially suitable for Canadian gardens, particularly those in sunnier or drier spots. Exceptionally low-maintenance, it draws bees and butterflies, is deer- and drought-resistant once established, and excels when dead-headed to extend its flowering season.
