Gaillardia Realflor® 'Sunset Orange Ruffles' Blanket Flower

Gaillardia Realflor® 'Sunset Orange Ruffles' is a compact, colorful perennial that grows to about 14 inches tall and wide, bringing vibrant blooms from early spring through fall. Known for its abundant, double blooms, this unique variety features double-layered, echinacea-style flowers in warm shades of orange, coral, and yellow that retain their vivid hues throughout their extended blooming period. Supported by sturdy stems, the fringed blooms rise above a neat mound of lance-shaped, grey-green foliage, making them perfect for both garden enjoyment and summer bouquets. In the garden, the flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies and, once spent, offer seed for songbirds.

This Gaillardia x grandiflora cultivar, commonly referred to as blanket flower, has a compact, clumping form that is ideal for containers, garden beds, and borders. Blanket flowers bring lively color and texture to pollinator and cottage gardens, enhancing landscapes with their continuous blooms.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, 'Sunset Orange Ruffles' thrives in sunny locations and adapts well to average, well-drained soils. It's a drought-tolerant variety that appreciates spring fertilization for best results. For continuous blooms, deadhead faded flowers throughout the season.
