Blanket Flower is a type of Gaillardia wild flower that can be grown from flower seeds as an ornamental. Blanket Flower is a perennial wildflower with large, daisy-like blooms that has a tap root.
Drought tolerant and carefree, Gaillardia Aristata Blanket Flower plants are easy to grow. To many people, they are wild flowers. To others, they are a part of a butterfly garden, or bright additions to the middle of a mixed ornamental garden. This type of Gaillardia has big, long-lasting blooms which grow up to 4 inches across. Bi-colored flowers include orange, red, and yellow.
Flowers bloom from early summer to fall, if spent blooms are deadheaded. Blanket Flowers are great in or along fields, and in butterfly gardens. They also make a good cut flower.
Blanket flowers are grown easily from wildflower seed. They can be directly seeded into your wild flower garden, or seeded indoors for transplanting later. If you live in a warmer climate, you can plant them in the fall, and they will likely bloom the first spring.
For colder areas, expect a bloom in the second spring. Plant Blanket Flower wildflower seeds early in the season and cover lightly with 1/8 inch of fine garden or potting soil. Or, broadcast spread them over an area, and lightly rake the Gaillardia seed into the soil.
