Notes

'Tokajer' Indian blanket (Gaillardia 'Tokajer') 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 and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Orange petals surround a raspberry cone, and the flowers draw butterflies and bees. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and it tolerates drought and salt. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Cat's Pajamas nepeta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Black Oil sunflower.
