Planting & Care

Tips For Growing Gaillardia (Blanket Flower)

Gaillardia (Blanket Flower) is a long-blooming native wildflower that is easy-to-grow and provides ample nectar for butterflies. It's resistant to browsing rabbits and deer.

Preferred growing conditions:

  • Needs sandy/gravely and sandy loam type soils. Avoid clay.
  • Does best with gravel mulches.
  • After their second growing season, only requires deep but infrequent watering. Too much water makes them floppy and shortens their lifespan.
  • Plant in full, hot sun.
  • Adding just a few handfuls of compost and Yum Yum Mix in the planting hole is enough. Don't plant into a rich, highly-amended soil.

Special comments:

  • Deadhead plants to prolong bloom. Leave a few seed heads on the plants to encourage re-seeding.
  • Blanket Flowers are generally grown from seed and are short lived perennials (3-4 years) and gardeners should replace them with new plants when the old plants lose vigor.

"Blooms from spring to fall."

I have just planted these but the ones I planted last year h

"Planting in open spaces between larger plants. To add color to my yard."

— Griffymutt (5/5)

Favorite Desert flower

"I wanted to start a colorful garden in our yard in the desert of NM. I've had trouble growing flowers in the last year but the Blanket Flowers seem to do quite nicely. I ordered these a month or so and planted them. I'm still waiting for one to flower but the other 3 bloomed nicely. I run a soaker hose around in the flower bed and that seems to do the trick. I have attached pics."

Beautiful and fast growing. . . until the moles got them

"The moles ate the roots of all the red flowers - my favorite - leaving the yellow flowers less affected (so far). The larger of the four plants arrived limp, and none survived. The other three types did well - grew fast, filled in, looked very pretty"

— Mel (4/5)

Healthy and Ready to Bloom

"Plants arrived healthy and after planting less than two months ago they are already blooming!"

— Texas A. (5/5)

Arizona Red and Amber Wheels just don't stop blooming!

"Beautiful plants shipped. Arizona Red and Amber wheels started blooming almost immediately. I'm sure that I deadheaded well over 100 blooms on each plant over the summer. Just amazing production. This is Arizona Red well into September, still blooming strong."

— CB (5/5)
