Barbican™ Yellow Red Ring Gaillardia

Barbican™ Yellow Red Ring is a compact blanket flower selected for a long run of daisy-like blooms. The named color form has yellow rays with a red ring, and Syngenta identifies this exact product as a mounding, pollinator-friendly Gaillardia aristata. [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/apac/product/flower/70054465) ## Flowers & Garden Use The breeder lists flowering from mid-spring through fall and describes a dense, rounded plant that keeps producing flowers. Use it near the front of a sunny perennial border or in a mixed bed where its warm bicolor flowers can repeat through the season. Blanket flowers grow best in full sun and well-drained soil; they are useful in containers and borders, and spent flowers may be removed to tidy the display or encourage more bloom. [University of Wisconsin–Madison Extension](https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/blanket-flower-gaillardia-spp/) Regional breeder listings publish different garden dimensions, so allow room for a compact mound and check the local grower label for the expected finished size. [Syngenta EMEA](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/emea/product/flower/70054465) ## Maintenance Plant in a sunny, freely draining site. Avoid persistently wet soil, especially during winter. Deadheading is optional; remove spent heads for a tidier appearance and leave some seedheads if you want to support birds.
