600 Blanket Flower Seeds Gaillardia Perennial Mix Drought Tolerant Pollinator Garden

Blanket Flower (Gaillardia) is a tough, long-blooming perennial known for its daisy-like blooms in warm shades of red, yellow, and orange, often banded or tipped for a striking bicolor effect. This perennial mix brings dependable color to borders, meadow plantings, and pollinator gardens, returning year after year in suitable climates and standing up well to heat and dry conditions once established.

The blooms are excellent for cut flower arrangements and provide a long season of ornamental interest from early summer into fall. Plants form compact, mounding clumps of gray-green foliage and are well suited to cottage gardens, wildflower areas, xeriscapes, and container plantings. Allow spent blooms to remain if seed collection is desired, or deadhead to encourage continued flowering.
