Gaillardia aristata ‘Jazzy Wheeler’


Blanket Flower

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.220.610


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 very compact selection has tangerine petals tipped in gold, surrounding a golden button eye. Attractive to butterflies. Drought tolerant once established. Heat tolerant and actually prefer poorer soils. Their name comes from the fact they blanketed the North American prairies with their blooms. Not the best choice for heavy clay soil that will stay wet through the winter. Removing faded flowers will encourage constant blooming. A 2009 introduction by Jelitto Seeds of Germany. USPP#22217: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
