Gaillardia ‘Summer’s Kiss’


Blanket Flower

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.220.220


Blanket Flowers are valuable in the summer border for their very long season of bloom. Plants form a low mound of light-green leaves, bearing upright stems of large daisy-type flowers. This selection has lovely soft apricot yellow blooms, with just a kiss of peach orange. Excellent for cutting, with nice long stems. 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. USPP#15293: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
