Gaillardia 'Fanfare Blaze' PP23494
Common Name: Blanket Flower
If you like the look of trumpeted flowers like ‘Fanfare’ but are looking for a new color, try ‘Fanfare Blaze’. This new hybrid from the UK offers fiery orange-red flowers with totally trumpeted petals and a deep orange-red button in the center.
It flowers continuously for an exceptionally long period from early summer through early fall. The 2½” blossoms are produced just at the top of the wide mounding, grey-green foliage.
This is a great plant to recommend to gardeners who are looking for a low maintenance, drought tolerant perennial that blooms all season and attracts butterflies.
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. They can still be found in fields and along roadsides in the prairie region and into the Rockies.
