Collection: Blanket Flower (Gaillardia) Perennials

Blanket flower lights up sunny borders and containers with bright, vivid, daisy-like blooms. Gardeners simply can't get enough of them. Gaillardia is its botanical name, and this North and South American native brings serious toughness. It pairs all that resilience with stunning color. It tolerates dry conditions and drought once established. It actually prefers lean, well-drained soil over rich, fertile ground — so avoid overwatering and skip the "wet feet."

Blanket flowers thrive in full sun and resist deer, pests, and most diseases. That makes them one of the most carefree perennials in the garden. Their brilliant colors also attract pollinators and make excellent cut flowers. For a stunning combination, try pairing gaillardia with black-eyed susans, echinacea, lantana, marigolds, salvia, and sedum. They're natural companions that bloom beautifully together.
