🔥 Blanket flowers (Gaillardia) are the ultimate sun-lovers, and their common name comes from the way their fiery red, orange, and yellow petals mimic the vibrant, woven patterns of traditional Native American blankets.
🦋 Blanket flowers attract pollinators and can bloom all summer long; deadheading, while not strictly necessary, can promote continuous blooming.
💧Once established, they are drought tolerant.
☀️ Plant in medium to dry soil, in full sun if possible.
