Gaillardia aristata Arizona Sun

Blanket Flower Arizona Sun

A popular perennial known for its vibrant daisy-like flowers with red and yellow petals, creating a striking contrast. This compact and hardy plant blooms throughout the summer, attracting bees and butterflies. It prefers well-drained soil and full sun, and is drought-tolerant once established. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to encourage blooming. Regularly remove faded flowers to promote new blooms. Cut back dead stems at the end of the season to maintain a tidy appearance. Cold-hardy, this variety can withstand moderate winter temperatures, but a light mulch around the base is recommended in colder regions to protect the roots.
