Gaillardia ‘Bijou’
Dwarf Blanket Flower |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.220.060
Blanket Flowers are long-blooming perennials, well suited to hot sunny sites. This particularly compact selection forms a low mound, bearing large flame-red daisies, each petal tipped with golden yellow, surrounding a burgundy eye. Remove faded flowers to extend the blooming season. Outstanding for edging, borders, rock gardens and especially in containers. Plants should be divided in early spring every 2 to 3 years. This will not tolerate wet, heavy clay soil, particularly in the winter. Flowers are attractive to butterflies, and also excellent for cutting.
