Gaillardia – Amber Wheels

Description

Deep yellow extra frilly petals surround an amber-red center. The flirty petals sway with the slightest breeze to provide a bright and cheery addition to your garden. Profuse bloomer all summer, pairs well with Verbascum and Coneflowers.

Taller than other Gaillardia, this statuesque beauty is a perfect backdrop for your border. Butterflies love Gaillardia.

The common name of Gaillardia refers to the resemblance to brightly patterned Native American blankets – hence Blanket Flower. Extremely drought and heat tolerant, once established. From the early summer on, very showy banded flowers “blanket” this plant. The ends of the petals have a torn, ruffled appearance. Butterflies are drawn to it.
