How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Blanket Flower (Gaillardia)

Blanket flower (Gaillardia aristata) is a hardy perennial beloved for its vibrant red, orange, and yellow blooms, attracting pollinators and thriving in full sun and dry conditions

Blanket Flower Plant Care

Plant blanket flowers in late spring after frost. These drought-tolerant perennials thrive in full sun, attract pollinators, and are deer-resistant.

Light

Blanket flowers thrive in full sun, needing 6-8 hours daily. These vibrant, daisy-like blooms flourish in hot summer temperatures, perfect for rock and pollinator gardens.

Soil

Gaillardia aristata prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil to thrive. Amend soil with organics for fertility and drainage. Great for rock gardens.

Water

Gaillardia aristata thrives in dry climates, needing occasional watering. Overwatering can lead to powdery mildew. Deep-rooted, they're resilient in drought.

Temperature and Humidity

Blanket flowers excel in full sun, ideal for hot, dry climates. Once established, they need minimal watering and tolerate various temperatures well.

Fertilizer

Blanket flowers prefer poor, well-drained soil and minimal fertilizer. Light feeding in the first year is sufficient. Avoid over-fertilization for vibrant blooms.
