Gaillardia aristata 'Arizona Red Shades' | USDA Zone: 3-10 |
Arizona Red Shades produces masses of large, crimson red blossoms from early summer all the way into early fall, even under hot and dry conditions. Since it is produced from seed, about 20% of the flowers will have slight yellow tips.
What sets this new variety apart from the older ‘Burgundy’ is its much shorter, compact size and uniform habit that is perfect for pot production. Its well-branched stems ensure your finished plants will fill out the container nicely and have a long shelf life at retail. Plants will flower the first year from seed.
Arizona Red Shades Blanket Flower is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Mass Planting
- Rock/Alpine Gardens
- Border Edging
- General Garden Use
- Naturalizing And Woodland Gardens
- Container Planting

Arizona Red Shades Blanket Flower should only be grown in full sunlight. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
