The blanketflower, scientifically known as Gaillardia, is a vibrant perennial plant native to North and South America. It gets its common name from the colorful and striking blooms that resemble a blanket of overlapping petals in fiery shades of red, orange, and yellow. The daisy-like flowers have a distinct pattern of dark center disks that contrast with the bright outer petals. Blanketflowers are known for their ability to attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators to the garden. They are appreciated for their drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor or rocky soil, making them a popular choice for xeriscaping and wildflower gardens. With their long blooming season and low maintenance requirements, blanketflowers are a cheerful and delightful addition to any landscape.
