Gaillardia aestivalis (Lanceleaf Blanketflower)
$ 4.98
Also known as Prairie Gaillardia.
Lanceleaf Blanketflower is a showy, prolific bloomer. The flowers are distinctive because they often have only partial rays or in some cases are virtually rayless. When the rays drop, the globular cones remain attractive. Because individual plants tend to be tall and slender, they are best used in mass planting.
Lanceleaf Blanketflower is easily grown in light, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. It adapts to amended clay-loam, but performs poorly in unamended, heavy clay soils.
