Gaillardia Torchlight


Blanket Flower

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.220.280


(='Fackelschein') 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 bicolor orange-red petals with wide golden tips that form an outer ring. Excellent for cutting, with nice long stems. Attractive to butterflies. Drought tolerant once established. Plants should be divided every 2 to 3 years, in early spring. Not the best choice for heavy clay soil that will stay wet through the winter. Removing faded flowers will encourage constant blooming.
