The Spintop™ Copper Sun Blanket Flower or Gaillardia is a vibrant bloomer that introduces bold color in a landscape. Fluted petals are narrow at the base and flare at the tips, creating a ruffled look. The petals gradually fade from red near the eye and transition to orange at the ends. The Spintop™ Copper Sun Blanket Flower blooms from late spring through late summer, putting on a magnificent floral display.
Gaillardia plants look amazing in a mass planting or as a groundcover, and they can add a pop of color to a border or container. The lovely blooms are eye-catching, and pollinators also favor them. This plant is easy to maintain and drought tolerant after the first season. Grow this beauty as a perennial in zones 3 through 9.
Spintop™ Copper Sun Blanket Flower Care
Blanket Flowers need full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light. Plant them in moist, well-drained soil. New plants need regular water for the first season, while established plants are drought tolerant. For best performance, water during a dry spell to support the bloom cycle. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in late spring and late summer.
Prune the plant back by one-third after the first flush of flowers starts to fade. A rejuvenating cut will encourage more growth and blooms.
Spintop™ Copper Sun Blanket Flower Spacing
Spintop™ Copper Sun Blanket Flower has a mounded, upright growth habit and will reach 12 to 14 inches tall and wide. Create a lovely mass planting by spacing Gaillardia plants 12 to 14 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
