'Bremen' Blanket Flower really sizzles in the Summer! Large daisy-like blooms burst forward Summer through Fall - a cheery yellow center encircled by fiery red and capped by more yellow. And would you look at those stems?! Easily reaching 30" tall or more, it makes for beautiful flower arrangements, dried or fresh! This North American native wildflower is a trusty perennial that is a cinch to grow. 'Bremen' is the host plant for the Bordered Patch butterfly and many other pollinators. Truly low-maintenance - it's best to avoid heavy clay, as this Gaillardia prefers lean soil with adequate drainage. Plant in full sun and remove spent blooms for impressive returns. Cut back in late Fall for the liveliest Springtime rebound. Pair with Agastache or Viscaria for an excellent summer show. Self-sows!
