For great long-lasting color and value, the Spintop™ Orange Halo Blanket Flower is hard to beat. This gaillardia’s flowers really are eye-catching, as the dark orange petals are tipped with yellow and surround dark red centers. Blooming from early summer onwards upon a mound of green foliage, this blanket flower lives up to its name. With a small and compact form, Spintop™ Orange Halo is suitable for many planting opportunities.
Being resistant to most deer and rabbits, the Spintop™ Orange Halo Blanket Flower is suitable for growing in both urban and rural locations. As a sun-loving perennial, it is considered drought and heat tolerant once established. Growing to around 1 foot high and wide, it is ideal for filling a gap in a border, planting out in a group, or for growing in a container. With its open centers, it is loved by butterflies when in bloom.
Spintop™ Orange Halo Blanket Flower Care
For best bloom performance, Spintop™ Orange Halo should be grown in full sun. It prefers free-draining soil and can tolerate most pH balances. Although this blanket flower can cope with heat and sun, it does need to be frequently watered after planting. If grown in a relatively fertile soil, this gaillardia does not need any extra fertilization, as too much nutrition can cause this plant to flop and its flowers to diminish.
If you want this plant to keep blooming all summer long, deadhead it at regular intervals over the summer. When the foliage begins to yellow in the fall, the stems can simply be cut back to several inches from the ground and cleared away.
Spintop™ Orange Halo Blanket Flower Spacing
The compact Spintop™ Orange Halo Blanket Flower grows to a maximum of 10-12 inches high and 12-15 inches wide. If filling a bed or border with a mass of its orange color, space Spintop™ Orange Halo around 1 foot between plants.

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.

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).

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.
