Notes
'Red' Indian blanket (Gaillardia 'Red') is a perennial for borders and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and it handles drought and salt well. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Flowers open in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Brown-eyed Susan, Foxtail barley, and Blue Diamond tulip.
