A hardy blanket flower

Name: 'Arizona Sun' blanket flower
(Gaillardia 'Arizona Sun')
USDA HardinessZones: 3 to 8
Size: 8 to 10 inches tall and 1 foot wide
CONDITION: Full sun; moist, well-drained soil but will tolerate poor soils
and drought. Because deer don't devour blanket flower, I've experimented with several of the new hybrids; unfortunately, they haven't all overwintered well. One of the hardiest cultivars
of the bunch is'Arizona Sun'. It stats blooming in July and will continue until frost if consistenly
deadheaded.
