Product description
Gaillardia × grandiflora Arizona Sun, commonly known as Blanketflower Arizona Sun, is a striking perennial that adds a burst of vibrant colour to summer gardens. Its large, daisy-like flowers feature a bold blend of red, orange, and yellow, creating a fiery display from early summer to early autumn. Compact and bushy in form, this sun-loving plant is ideal for adding warmth and texture to borders, beds, and containers.
Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, Gaillardia Arizona Sun is a drought-tolerant perennial well-suited for UK gardens.

It thrives in rockeries, coastal gardens, and patio pots, bringing bold, long-lasting colour to outdoor spaces.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Gaillardia plants benefit from occasional deadheading to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
How to Water
Water Gaillardia deeply but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. While drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during the growing season helps promote strong growth and vibrant blooms. Avoid waterlogging.
How to Plant
Plant Gaillardia in well-draining soil with full sun exposure. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Space plants 30-45cm apart for proper air circulation.
