Fanfare Blanket Flower
Gaillardia 'Fanfare'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: This is a mounding perennial that produces bright yellow, red and orange blooms. This variety has fluted petals, which is an attractive departure from the species. Once the flower bloom is done, it turns to a red puffball, which can be removed but, since blanket flowers are so short-lived, can be allowed to reseed to begin new plants nearby. These perennials prefer lighter soil and moderate amounts of water.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
