Blanket flower "Bremen" (common gaillardia)
Blanket flower "Bremen" - Gaillardia aristata.
This stunningly beautiful perennial plant, 75 cm tall, features dark red petals with yellow tips, making your garden more attractive and cheerful.
The inflorescences are large, spherical heads, 6-8 cm in diameter. This spreading plant looks great in flower beds and mixed borders, and will amaze you with a vibrant display of blooms in groups. Flowering period: June - September. Strong, long stems make this variety ideal for cutting.
Cultivation: Prefers light, dry soils and open, sunny locations. Seeds are sown in cold frames or nursery beds in spring or fall. Seedlings emerge in 12-16 days, and seedlings are pricked out. Seedlings are transplanted to their permanent locations in August-September. Young plants bloom in the second year. They grow in the same location for 3-4 years. Plants respond well to moderate watering. To prolong flowering, three fertilizing sessions per season are recommended. To ensure more abundant and prolonged flowering, faded inflorescences are removed. In Estonian conditions, the plants are quite winter-hardy (Z3 - Z9), but in the first year, young plantings should be lightly covered with fallen leaves or mulched with peat.
