Gaillardia x grandiflora Mesa Yellow

Blanket Flower Mesa Yellow

A perennial known for its bright yellow flowers with a hint of red at the center, creating a cheerful contrast. It blooms profusely from early summer to fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The plant forms a compact, bushy mound of gray-green, lance-shaped leaves, making it a great addition to borders, containers, or wildflower gardens. Water moderately, ensuring the soil is well-drained to avoid root rot. Once established, ‘Mesa Yellow’ is drought-tolerant. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. Deadhead regularly to promote continued flowering throughout the season. Trim back the plant at the end of the growing season to keep it neat. Hardy and low-maintenance, this variety may benefit from light mulching in colder climates to protect the roots in winter.
