Gaillardia - Burgundy seeds - Blanket flower

Wine-red blooms measure a whopping 3 inches across! In the middle of these striking red petals is a button-like centre which emerges bright yellow and then slowly changes to ox blood-red. This juicy centre attracts butterflies like crazy. Since the flowers just keep on coming from early summer into fall, they provide continuous colour in containers and will keep your vases full of fresh blanket flower bouquets all season long.

These perennials require little care once established. They are heat tolerant and actually prefer to be grown in poorer soils. They get their name from the manner in which they used to blanket North American prairies with their blooms. Furthermore, they can still be found in fields and along roadsides in the prairie region and into the Rockies.
