Blanket Flower is a perennial wildflower known for its vibrant, daisy-like blooms with red or yellow petals and dark center discs.

This radiant wildflower with an extended blooming season will light up your garden with a kaleidoscope of glowing colors. There are roughly 30 species of the genus Gaillardia. Multiple legends surround the name. The simplest indicates that it comes from the tendency of these plants to blanket the ground with vibrant blooms quickly. Another suggests that the name comes from the way thriving patches of these plants are reminiscent of brightly patterned Native American blankets. One story links the inspiration for the plant's name to the gorgeous blooms that repeatedly appeared on the grave of a talented Native American weaver famous for creating richly hued blankets. Generally, they have daisy-like flowers that feature multiple rays around a central disc. These rays can be in a single or double layer. There may be flat or trumpet-shaped petals. Some flower head offer a single vibrant hue. Others boast bands of colors, resulting in a striking ombre effect. They send up stems with a single bloom measuring 2 and 4 inches. The plants typically reach heights of 12 to 18 inches, but they can grow up to 36 inches tall. To purchase these plants, please see the link in the description below. Visit our website today.
