This is a Gaillardia Flower. I love this flower for it's color and the fact that it blooms from late spring all the way to fall. I first planted seeds for this plant in my New Jersey garden.
It grows really well in poor soil and is drought tolerant. I love also that every year the plant grows bigger.
The flower petals can come in different shapes and colors. I really liked this variety. I've yet to find it here in Utah.
When a plant is in full bloom it is so beautiful. They will continue to bloom if you deadhead them.
It's so nice to have a reminder of New Jersey in my garden. Although I think perhaps they were a sign that I would move west as they really are a western flower and I just didn't know it.
