The Arizona Red Shades blanket flower strikes with its beauty, especially during the long flowering period. Its spectacular tufts that reach only 30 centimetres in height consist of light green, lanceolate leaves. The bright red flowers that are formed of fancifully ending petals look wonderful at such a background. The plant blooms profusely from June to September. During these months, gaillardias constitute a very attractive and distinctive attraction of a garden. Large flowers remain ornamental even after losing petals - their centres, shaped like fluffy balls, stay on the stems. Thanks to this feature, the plant looks even more attractive. The low-growing blanket flower is an excellent plant for flower bed frontline, a rock garden, other naturalistic arrangement, and containers. This charming species with its interesting colours and reliable flowering is a tested choice when it comes to reviving gardens.

Gaillardia is a sun-loving species. It is easy to grow, even if its appearance might suggest otherwise. It thrives in average garden soil, though it prefers permeable, sandy, and dry earth. It is recommended to remove withering flowers to extend the flowering period. Cut the tufts low at the end of summer to improve plants' vitality and appearance in the coming season. The plant is classified as frost-resistant, but it is recommended to cover it with fleece or other insulating material.
