(Common Name: Mexican Blanket Flower) . Despite the common name they hail from North America including parts of Canada - the name derives from the similarity of the banded colours of some varieties to the patterns on Mexican blankets. Brightly coloured daisy flowers in bloom throughout the summer and autumn. We prefer the taller varieties rather than the dwarf types commonly seen in bedding. All are soundly perennial and hardy in well drained soils. Hardiness can be improved in less favourable sites by cutting the stems down below the lowest flower buds in mid autumn. Easy to grow from divisions and root cuttings. Dead head regularly. Perfect Partners: "Burgunder" rests against Achillea Forncett Fletton with the deep maroon foliage of Physocarpus Diablo as a backdrop. We would be interested to buy / exchange plants of the old English varieties like Ipswich Beauty and Wirral Flame. Read more about Gaillardia in our garden diary for October 2011.
