Blanket Flowers are valuable in the summer border for their very long season of bloom. Plants form a low mound of green leaves, bearing upright stems of large daisy-like flowers. This selection features unique pinwheel blooms, compact habit and a long flowering period. Tubular petals are red and yellow and surround a large russet eye. Excellent for cutting, with nice long stems. Attractive to butterflies. Drought tolerant once established. Removing faded flowers will encourage constant blooming. Although rated conservatively 5 by the breeder, this is likely to survive to Zone 2 or 3 just like other hybrid Gaillardia selections.
