The plant produces intricately colored petals of alternating red and yellow hues. Blanket Flower Seeds can be planted successfully anywhere in the USA, but this species is especially beloved in arid areas with limited drainage. Gaillardia forms a slowly spreading mound and the common name may be a reference to how they can slowly spread and "blanket" an area.

They also grow easily from seeds planted directly in the garden after the last frost date (or started indoors about 4 to 6 weeks early).Deadheading isn't mandatory, but it may stimulate additional blooms. If the plant languishes in the heat of summer, cutting it back dramatically may reinvigorate it for good fall blooming.LightFull sun is what these plants love best! The blanket flower can handle some partial shade, particularly in hot climates, but they will get a bit floppy and will not flower as profusely.SoilGaillardia is not particular about soil pH, but it does need well-draining soil. It will grow in somewhat moist conditions, but heavy clay soil will probably kill it.WaterImmediately after planting, water frequently (every other day or so) until you see the flowers. Once established, Gaillardia is extremely drought tolerant. It can go without watering unless there are extremely hot and dry conditions, then it's best to water the bed once or twice per week. Avoid overwatering. Temperature and HumidityBlanket flowers thrive in full sun and can withstand hot summer temperatures. They do not require a humid environment and do better in hot, dry climates over cool, moist ones.FertilizerPoor soils seem to encourage more flowering than rich soils, so go easy on (or avoid) the fertilizer.PruningBlanket flower does not require deadheading to keep blooming, but the plants will look better and be fuller if you do cut the stems back when the flowers start to fade. You will also get more continuous flowering with deadheading, so don't be shy about it.WE SHIP FAST &FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail. NO TRACKING.
