GAILLARDIA 'Fanfare Blaze' 3L

Gaillardia ‘Fanfare Blaze’ is a compact, long-flowering blanket flower producing distinctive fluted, trumpet-like blooms in fiery orange-red tones from early summer into autumn. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile soil, it forms a neat clump around 45 cm tall and wide, making a vivid addition to sunny borders, gravel plantings and containers. Deadhead regularly to extend the display, and avoid heavy, waterlogged soils, especially in winter. Drought-tolerant once established and very attractive to pollinators, it’s a cheerful, low-maintenance choice for bright Irish gardens.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
