Gaillardia aristata Gallo® Dark Bicolor
Gallo Blanket Flower |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.220.500
Blanket Flowers are valuable in the summer border for their very long season of bloom. They form a low mound of light-green leaves, bearing upright stems of large daisy-type flowers. This compact selection has bicolor petals of flame red and gold around a rust-coloured button eye. Attractive to butterflies. Drought tolerant once established. Not the best choice for heavy clay soil that will stay wet through the winter. Removing faded flowers will encourage constant blooming. Hardiness is not yet fully determined but will quite likely be colder than Zone 4. USPP#20718: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
