Gaillardia Gallo Red

Gaillardia Gallo Red is the perfect deep red flowering perennial for borders, edging features and as bedding plants.  Gaillardia Gallo Red is the most elegant of all Gaillardo perennials with its restrained size of a uniform and tidy 12 inch mound covered with large, Gaillardia flowers.  Both petals and eye are saturated with a deep red completely free of the more garish yellow and oranges found in the majority of Gaillardia flowers.  This elegant entry of a new Gaillardia plant on the market meets the needs of small space gardeners and others who want a care free, drought tolerant perennial that has a classy appearance.

I had preveiously purchased another type of Gaillardia Blanket Flower, Arizona Red Shades before  I found this one.  I wish I had found Gaillardia Gallo Red first....

Gaillardia Gallo Red is a perennial hardy in zones 4 to 8.  It grows up to a foot high and wide.  After the first year it is tolerant of drought and will thrive in any soil.  After the first frost, prune the flower down to the base.

While the flower of the Gaillardia Gallo Red looks much like the popular Gaillardia Burgundy, the small bush size distinguishes this from its taller cousin.
