Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large 3" maroonish-red full daisies are born from spring to fall on this compact durable free-flowering native perennial. The flowers may sometimes be touched with yellow at the outer edges. The tidy and compact habit make this Gaillardia an excellent addition to borders or containers. Provide good drainage and full sun. 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.
