This yellow Blanket Flower blooms nonstop from late spring through fall, and the butterflies flock to it the entire time! Blanket Flower -Gaillardia Pulchella Sundance Yellow - A completely new look for Gaillardia, grown from flower seed! The Gaillardia Sundance series brings petal-packed, pompon-shaped blooms in all shades, including bi-colors. Fully double and just perfect for cutting. This Blanket Flower plant reaches just 10 inches high and 10 - 12 inches wide, growing readily in any type of soil, including heavy clay, sand, and poorly fertile types. It has a yellow shade on blooms 2 - 3 inches wide and nearly as deep.
They appear on very strong stems, and are long-lasting after cutting. The bloom time depends on the heat of summer. The heaviest blooms are in the cooler temperatures, early summer and again in the fall. If the summer is mild, the blooms will continue to be heavy all summer. Some gardeners living in hot regions will sow half the Gaillardia flower seed for spring blooms, the other half in midsummer for a big fall encore.
