Gaillardia grandiflora (Blanket Flower)

Add vibrant, long-lasting color to your landscape with Gaillardia grandiflora, commonly known as Blanket Flower. This hardy, sun-loving perennial produces an abundance of large, daisy-like blooms in brilliant shades of red, orange, and golden yellow from late spring through fall. Its extended bloom season and cheerful flowers make it a standout choice for garden beds, borders, mass plantings, and pollinator gardens.

Gaillardia grandiflora thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent option for drought-tolerant landscapes, xeriscapes, and low-maintenance gardens. Once established, it withstands heat, humidity, and dry conditions with ease while continuing to deliver colorful blooms throughout the growing season. The nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators, while deer and rabbits typically leave the plant alone.
