From early summer, butterflies may blanket the striking three-colored flowers which resemble the colors commonly found in Indian blankets. But, they get their name from how they use to blanket North America prairies with their blooms. This native cultivar can still be found in fields, prairies and into the Rockies.
Except for heavy clay, Gaillardia will grow in average to poor, well-drained soils; and tolerates dry soils and drought, once established. However, they will perform best in moist organic well-drained soils, but we recommend limited enrichment of the soil with compost or ingredients, Heat tolerant.
