Burgundy Gaillardia

Gaillardia aristata
Also known as Blanketflower. When I first laid eyes on this in a nursery, it stood out from the pack. Burgundy has all the toughness of a prairie native enhanced with the solid deep wine color of a sophisticated garden-tour specimen. 3–4" daisy-like flowers bloom all summer on 2–3' plants. A favorite of butterflies and of gardeners who like to bring cutflowers inside. Fancy but low-maintenance cultivar. Plant 18–24" apart. Perennial, Zones 4-10. ~280 seeds/g. Especially attractive to pollinators. ③
