Blanket Flower 'Arizona Sun'

Blanket Flower 'Arizona Sun'  (Gaillardia aristata 'Arizona Sun') is one of those plants that earns its keep from the moment summer arrives. Its bold, sunset-colored blooms create a bright splash of color for months on end, even in hot, exposed locations where many other perennials struggle. The compact size makes it especially useful near the front of borders, in rock gardens, xeriscapes, and containers where its cheerful flowers can be enjoyed up close.

Pollinators are frequent visitors, with bees and butterflies drawn to the steady supply of nectar throughout the growing season. Once established, Arizona Sun thrives with very little attention, handling heat, poor soils, and dry conditions with ease. For gardeners looking for reliable color and a long, summertime blooms without high water demands, it's a proven favorite.
