For a sizzling splash of continuous color in your high-country landscape, look no further than Red Gaillardia! These vibrant Blanket Flowers truly embrace the spirit of the Arizona sun, offering masses of stunning, often solid crimson-red blooms that can last from early summer right through the fall. While there are many fantastic varieties, such as ‘Arizona Red Shades’ or ‘Mesa Red’, each offers that bold, rich hue that brings a lively energy to any garden space. Depending on the variety, they generally range from a compact 10-18 inches tall and wide, making them ideal for adding a dramatic touch to borders, rockeries, or even patio containers.

Red Gaillardia demands full sun, needing at least six hours of direct sunlight daily to produce their prolific blooms. They absolutely thrive in our intense Arizona sun and are exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal watering to maintain their beauty. This makes them a perfect, low-maintenance choice for water-wise gardening. Best of all, like other Gaillardia, these red beauties are wonderfully deer and rabbit resistant, so you can enjoy their fiery display without worry. They are also a magnet for butterflies and other beneficial pollinators, bringing your garden to life with their activity.
