Fanfare Citronella Blanket Flower
Gaillardia 'Fanfare Citronella'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: This is a mounding perennial that produces bright yellow pinwheel 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 light soils 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.
