Gaillardia aristata 'Arizona Red Shades' is a stunning cultivar of the native blanket flower prized for its vibrant, long-lasting blooms. Unlike many gaillardia varieties that showcase the classic yellow and red color combination, this selection features flowers in rich shades of red, burgundy, and mahogany. The large, daisy-like blossoms adorn the robust, bushy plants from early summer through fall, creating a dazzling display of warm hues. 'Arizona Red Shades' grows to a compact 12-15 inches tall and wide, making it an ideal choice for borders, rock gardens, and mixed containers. Adapted to full sun and well-drained soils, this drought-tolerant perennial requires little maintenance, allowing gardeners to simply sit back and enjoy its fiery color show season after season.
