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.

Peachy plant

"Upon arrival this plant had one bloom! I Planted this in late Summer and it as we're well into fall, it's putting up another bloom. Hardy and healthy little plant I'm very happy with it so far."

— Melissa (5/5)

Going to pirchase more

"I purchased three 5"" plants for spring 2024 season, and they did well throughout the high winds and snowy weather of the upper Calif desert. They have come to life this last week and look so healthy and beautiful. I will purchase more to fill in the area. So glad I decided to give this flower a try."

Beautiful Blanket Flower Variety

"I got this variety specifically for the intensity of its bloom colors and it doesn't disappoint. The plant arrived healthy, well-protected for shipping, and ready to go into the ground. It's a great pollinator attractor and arrived with bloom buds already present. It's continuing to bloom and provides a nice accent to my xeriscape garden area in my backyard. #sweepstakes"

— TXGardener (5/5)

What A Beauty!

"These flowers are so vibrant! They arrived healthy with small buds and began blooming within a few short weeks. I have them in a rock garden near a stone pathway. I bought 2 of these, wish I had purchased more, will definitely buy again. They arrived with 7 other flowering plants that I purchased from High Country Gardens, all in excellent condition and thriving in our garden!"
