Blanket Flower (Gaillardia)

Gaillardia, commonly known as blanket flower, is a genus of sun-loving perennials and annuals prized for their daisy-like, bicolored blooms in shades of red, orange, and yellow. These hardy plants typically form compact, mounding clumps of fuzzy, grey-green foliage. They are exceptionally drought-tolerant and thrive in poor, well-drained soils, making them ideal for rock gardens, borders, or coastal landscapes. Their long blooming season from summer to fall attracts a variety of pollinators.
