Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A very highly rated Indian Blanket producing a seemingly endless show of 3" rich red daisies that are tipped in golden yellow from late spring to fall. This Gaillardia is a compact and freely branching selection that is excellent for containers or the gardens. Gaillardias are heat loving & drought tolerant North American natives and hybrids that need good drainage for the best performance. Indian Blanket's drought tolerance and amicable nature make it a good choice for sunny gardens and containers. Debudding at transplanting time will help to ensure good establishment of the tough perennial.
