Gaillardia

🎨 Bold & Sun-Loving

Gaillardia, or Blanket Flower, is a show-stopping annual prized for its fiery, multi-coloured blooms that mimic the warmth of a sunset. These tough, reliable plants are exceptionally heat and drought-tolerant, making them an ideal choice for sunny borders, containers, or naturalized garden areas where they provide long-lasting, vibrant interest.

• Growing: Thrives in full sun and well-draining, average to poor soil. Excellent for dry garden spots.

• Sowing: Direct sow after the danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 6–8 weeks before planting out.

• Care: Very low maintenance. Deadhead faded blooms to encourage the plant to continue producing its distinctive, daisy-like flowers throughout the heat of summer.

• Blooming: Produces a steady, eye-catching display of colour from early summer until the first autumn frost.
