Description
Gaillardia aristata is a plant from the Asteraceae family that is found in the large, sunny prairies of North, South and Central America. It is a highly appreciated perennial for its warm colours and frugal nature.
Blanket Flower has a very stately demeanour with its height of 60 to 70 cm and its width of 25 cm. The stems carry one solitary flower that looks like a warm coloured daisy. The central disc florets are imperceptibly downy and take on ochre-brown colour. The ray florets that make up the flower’s collar are scarlet at their base and saffron yellow at their two-toothed tips. Depending on the cultivar, the proportion or yellow and red varies and gives a dominant colouring that you can enjoy from June to September. Its slightly downy and deciduous foliage takes on hints of grey-green colour.
Blanket flower likes light, well-drained, rich soils. It is best planted in the sun. Combine it with Leucanthemum or white Scabious. This will create a contrast between the cooler tones of the white daisy and the fieriness of the scarlet and yellow Gaillardia. Each one will seem to glow even brighter.

Gaillardia like light soils that are well-drained but rich. It is best planted in full sunlight. It self-seeds abundantly. Sow under glass at 18 °C from March to May or in open ground from May to June, under a half cm of soil. Plant out early in summer and space out the plants 30 cm apart from one another. The young sprouts appear approximately 18 days after having been sown.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
