Gallardia - I love gallardia and had several varieties in my yard. Then they got really woody and even when I cut them back the woody areas were larger than the flowering areas - what did I do wrong? »

added by LuAnn Brandsen to 10 Perennials to Extend Your Garden's Summer Color

Blanket Flower Gaillardia x grandifloraNamed for its resemblance to the vivid woven blankets of the American Southwest, this flower cloaks the garden in yellow, burgundy or rich red from midsummer into fall. Blanket flower prefers fertile, well-drained soil, but it will tolerate poor, dry soil once established. Deadhead to keep the flowers coming. The dwarf, compact ‘Goblin’ cultivar is a favorite with its showy flowers and incredible bloom time. 'Burgundy' is another excellent choice that stands 2 to 3 feet tall with deep red flowers. USDA zones: 3-10Water requirement: Drought tolerant Sun requirement: Full sun Mature size: 1 to 3 feet
