This flower gives nothing but warm smiles and good vibes. Heat it Up® Scarlet Blanket Flower Gaillardia hybrid is the perfect summer flower that shines so bright! Also known as the blanket flower, Gaillardia has gorgeous orange flowers that are highlighted with a dash of golden yellow on the outer edge of the petals. The bloom time is from spring to well into the fall. Its green foliage stands proud and creates a lush mounding habit. Medium in height, this plant grows 12 to 24 inches in height and can spread 18 to 36 inches in length.

It is a US native wildflower cultivated to display the best of its abilities in both strength and beauty. It is heat and drought tolerant, disease and deer resistant, and has long-lasting Fall interest. When creating containers use Gaillardia as a filler. It is sure to attract pollinator friends like bees and butterflies. Imagine a mass of blanket flowers creating a tapestry throughout the landscape, or imagine it hanging from a porch balcony welcoming you home.

Heat it Up® Scarlet Blanket Flower Care

Gaillardia has so much to love. It is well adapted to poor soil conditions that are low in fertility. Little to any fertilizer is necessary. Just make sure that this plant has well-draining and relatively moist soil. Once established, it can tolerate periods of drought. If spent flowers and stems are trimmed back it does clean up nicely, but deadheading is not necessary. The lazy gardener approach is ideal. This plant will still produce an abundance of reblooming flowers and still, look amazing.

Heat it Up® Scarlet Blanket Flower is a short-lived perennial in zones 8 to 11. For the rest of the colder zones, typically the blanket flower is categorized as an annual. Gaillardia will bloom from planting until frost. Heavily mulching in landscapes may help to overwinter Gaillardia, but it is not full-proof.

Heat it Up® Scarlet Blanket Flower Spacing

Space the blanket flower 18 to 36 inches apart in landscape plantings. Twelve-inch hanging baskets are preferred. Use a 14-inch container when planting combination pots. Leave at least 6 inches or more between plants when spacing Gaillardia in containers.
