Blanket Flower

Gaillardia aristata

Blanket Flower is a native, perennial, cool-season form that grows 1 to 3 feet tall. It does well on a variety of soil types, including loams to rocky to gravelly sandy textures, and can tolerate slightly acidic to mildly alkaline soils. Blanket Flower attains optimum growth in full sun, beginning in early spring until seed set in late summer. It occurs at elevations from 1,300 feet to 9,000 feet. Blanket Flower is useful for adding species diversity in native plant seed mixes for rehabilitation of disturbed sites. It can be used in producing native wildflower sod for restoration of native plant colonies. It is suitable for use as an ornamental wildflower in low maintenance or naturalistic landscapes. It has utility as a cover and food source for pollinators, wildlife, and livestock.
