Gaillardia x grandiflora Arizona Apricot

Blanket Flower Arizona Apricot

A perennial with vibrant flowers in shades of apricot and yellow, which bring a warm and vibrant touch to the garden. Its large, slightly striped flowers attract pollinators and bloom profusely throughout the summer, until autumn. Compact and bushy, this gaillardia is ideal for borders or beds, where it is resistant to heat and drought once established. This plant requires little maintenance: cut back faded flowers to encourage new blooms and fertilize lightly in spring to support its growth. Hardy, it tolerates cold winters, although a light mulch is recommended to protect its roots from extremes of temperature.
