Blanket Flower 'Arizona Apricot', Gaillardia aristata 'Arizona Apricot'
Free-flowering, award-winner Gaillardia x grandiflora ‘Arizona Apricot’ (Blanket Flower) is a bushy, often short-lived herbaceous perennial with large, rich apricot flowers, up to 3.5 in. wide (8 cm), adorned with multiple rows of pointed petals. Each petal exhibits yellow tips and surrounds a darker orange center, which gives way to attractive globe-shaped seed heads. Blooming from early summer into fall, the daisy-like flowers cover the compact, uniform mound of bright green foliage. Rich in nectar, the flowers are real magnets for butterflies. Drought and heat tolerant, this Blanket Flower requires little care once established. This plant is rated highly for its all-around garden performance and long flowering season. Blooms profusely even in the first year.
