Gaillardia aristata ‘Low Rider’, commonly known as blanket flower, is a compact, long-blooming perennial prized for its vibrant, daisy-like flowers. Bright red petals with bold yellow edges create a fiery, eye-catching display from early summer through fall. Its low, mounding habit makes it ideal for the front of borders, rock gardens, and containers, where it delivers continuous color with minimal effort. Highly drought-tolerant once established, Low Rider thrives in sunny, well-drained sites and attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. With its extended bloom time and tough nature, it’s an excellent choice for low-maintenance, high-impact plantings.
