Blanket Flower "Mesa Bright Bicolour" (Gaillardia x grandiflora)

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 midsized selection blooms the first year and features gold and red flowers. Attractive to butterflies. Excellent in containers. 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.
