Description
Firewheel, Gaillardia aristata
Blanket Flower
This is a sun-loving, drought-tolerant species also known as Blanket Flower, which has bright daisies of red and gold rays around maroon centers. This easy-to-grow perennial wildflower reaches heights between 18-30″. Firewheel blooms from June- August, but regular removal of spent flowers can prolong bloom time. Sow directly into the soil in the late fall for early spring germination. Once established, Firewheel will readily reseed itself in the garden.
Firewheel, Blanket Flower is somewhat deer resistant.
