Blanket Flower (Gaillardia x grandiflora) 'Gallo® Red' is a beautiful, rich red cultivar of Gaillardia. A short-lived perennial, it bloomed profusely in my zone 7a garden from late spring to frost, but unfortunately did not return the following season. Gaillardia x grandiflora is the result of a cross between the perennial G. aristata and the annual G. pulchella. Gaillardia attracts butterflies and has special value to native bees.
