Description
This image was created by digitally manipulating my original acrylic art painting. Also known as blanket flower, gaillardia is a sturdy native perennial with bright flowers that bloom throughout the summer and into the fall.
The flowers are single, semi-double, double, and even tubular, and grow on long stems above the long, soft, hairy leaves. Difference in colors and variations in petal shapes are a result of natural hybridization. They are usually reddish purple or orange-red with yellow tips, but can also be solid yellow, orange, or red, and make excellent, long-lasting cut flowers that attract butterflies.Gaillardia re-seeds itself, so don't be surprised if you see it year after year.
