Blanket Flower (Gaillardia Aristata Arizona Red Shades) - Arizona 'Red Shades' is a recent introduction with dark orange-red flowers. With modest deadheading this selection will bloom all summer thriving in full, hot sun and poor soils with little water. Attractive to butterflies, but not deer and rabbits. Blanket Flowers are drought resistant and perfect for xeriscaping. This low growing plant only reaches 12 inches tall and grows as a perennial in USDA Zones 4 - 10. Plants will flower the first year from seed.
These perennials require little care or water once established. They are heat tolerant and actually prefer to be grown in poorer soils. They get their name from the manner in which they used to blanket North American prairies with their blooms. They can still be found in fields and along roadsides in the prairie region and into the Rockies.
If sowing Gaillardia seeds indoors, start 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost, use sterile starting soil and starter trays. Press the flower seeds into the soil and barely cover. Keeps seeds moist until germination. Cut back the Blanket Flower seedlings at transplanting to help it become more compact. If sowing Blanket Flower seeds outdoors, wait until danger of frost has passed. Sow flower seeds into prepared soil, cover lightly with fine garden or potting soil.
