Arizona Apricot Blanket Flower’s large flowers of yellow-tipped petals deepening to lush apricot make it a perfect addition to a perennial bed or garden. Its compact size and non-stop blooms harmonize beautifully with the many purples of summer. Planted with Lavender, Salvia, or Catmint, this water-thrifty perennial is a perfect fit. (Gallardia)

'Goblin' Gaillardia has daisy-like blooms with scarlet petals and fringed yellow tips. Very resistant to heat, humidity, and drought, 'Goblin' blooms all summer delivering continuous, vibrant color. Highly attractive to pollinators. (Gaillardia)

With a little deadheading, Gallardia Arizona Red Shades will bloom all summer long, providing vibrant color to almost any perennial garden. Like all Gaillardia, this variety thrives in full sun and tolerates most soil types. It is unappealing to deer and rabbits, but attracts pollinators to the garden all season long. A dwarf variety, Arizona Red Shades grows to be only 12” tall and makes for the perfect border plant, container perennial, or small space staple. We love Gaillardia because it is so easy to grow and works really well in hard-to-maintain areas of our gardens.
