Gaillardia Arizona Sun is a herbaceous perennial with eye-catching blooms edged with a ring of vivid yellow. Its large, boldly colored, fiery-red flowers provide a striking contrast and are reliably produced from summer to fall. Its compact shape heat and drought tolerance make it an ideal choice for landscapes or patio containers. Not to mention, spent flower heads attract goldfinches, adding to its appeal. Thrives in organically rich, loose, well-drained soils. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates moderate periodic drought. Feed sparingly. Remove spent blooms to encourage profuse flowering. Cut back to 3 in. above ground in early spring.
