Gaillardia Aristata ‘Arizona Red Shades’

The compact, uniform mound of bright green foliage is covered in large 3-3½” blossoms from early summer into autumn.  The flowers are deep orange with a darker red centre.  Multiple rows of petals give the flowers a beautifully full appearance.

This plant forms a tidy mound and has an excellent branching habit.

These perennials require little care once established.  They are heat tolerant and actually prefer to be grown in poorer soils. They get their name from the manner in which they used to blanket North American prairies with their blooms.
