Description

Give sunny pots, borders and gravel gardens a blast of long-lasting summer fire with this compact, easy-going perennial. Gaillardia ‘Arizona Red Shades’ works hard from early summer into early autumn, producing bold, daisy-like flowers above neat, bushy foliage. It delivers the cottage garden charm customers love, but with a tougher, more drought-tolerant nature that suits modern low-maintenance gardens beautifully.

Plant it at the front of a border, use it to plug gaps in mixed displays, or drop it into patio containers where its compact habit keeps everything tidy. The flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators, while the long stems also make cheerful cut flowers for the home.

For best results, grow in full sun and well-drained soil. Deadhead faded blooms to encourage more flowers and avoid heavy, wet winter ground. Reaching around 30cm tall, this hardy perennial gives smaller gardens, pots and sunny borders months of colour, movement and wildlife appeal from one tough little plant.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.
