Red Gaillardia

An exciting perennial breakthrough—this gaillardia variety blooms from late spring until the first frosts of autumn! No other plant of its kind can make the same claim. Plus, you don’t have to wait to see this kind of garden performance—Red Gaillardia does this in its very first season! Uniform plants feature mounds of pinnate, lobed foliage of deep green that makes a fine background for the deep mahogany-red, 4″ daisylike flowers tipped in golden yellow. Perfect variety for sun-filled borders and cutting gardens. Plant in full sun for best results. Remove spent blooms, only if desired for a cleaner garden look. This variety will continue to bloom regardless of deadheading. Zones 3-10.
