Blanket flower seeds annual
Gaillardia pulchella
Brilliant red flowers tipped with a bright yellow edge makes the blanket
flower one of the showiest wildflowers around! One of my all time
favorites the "Fire Wheel" is very hardy, drought tolerant
and easily established from seed.
This striking daisy like
flower grows on strong, stiff stems and has a vase life of 6-10 days, making it
an excellent cut flower!
