Posted by Catmint20906 (Maryland - Zone 7a) on Aug 23, 2014 3:50 PM Blanket Flower (Gaillardia aristata 'Yellow Trumpet') enjoys full sun and medium to dry soil. A bright and colorful perennial that is native to the northern and western United States and Canada, it attracts butterflies and has special value to native bees. Part of the Gallo series, Yellow Trumpet is compact and blooms prolifically from late spring to fall. [ Reply to this comment | |
