![]() Blanket Flower - Gaillardia grandiflora |
|
![]() Blanket Flower (with butterfly). Blanket Flowers are native to much of the US and bloom most of the summer, until pretty late in the fall. Many varieties available. Height is 1 to 2.5 feet. Likes full sun and attracts butterflies until late in the fall. Where to buy Blanket Flower
I highly recommend Nature Hills Nursery. Their perennials cost a bit more but they
are grown in 4'' x 6'' air-pruned pots that results in healthier plants with a highly
developed root mass! The price is reduced however, if you buy more plants.
Nature Hills also has a
free plant and seed catalog that they will mail out to you.
