From the same breeders who brought us the stellar 'Arizona Sun' species we are proud to present a new shining star to adore: Gaillardia 'Arizona Red Shades'.
Gaillardia 'Arizona Red Shades' is an eager bloomer that burst to life as things really start to warm up at the end of spring, starting so much earlier than their competition. Early blooming means less waiting and more celebrating.
Plus this blanket flower is exceedingly floriferous, spouting so many color drenched blooms you'll hardly even glimpse the foliage. Gaillardia 'Arizona Red Shades' is what all ground cover aspire to be: durable, vigorous and drop dead gorgeous.
Gaillardia 'Arizona Red Shades' tolerates a wide range of natural stressors, including poor soil, blistering heat, high humidity, cold temperatures, and even drought, once the roots are well established. This display is only dampened by one thing: actual frost. You can enjoy a very long bloom time on this darling, and the flowers are even ripe for the cutting as well.
