A new and vibrant color is what you get from this member of the Arizona series of Gaillardias. The four inch blooms are what I would call a bright crimson burgundy with dark centers. Arizona Red Shades Gaillardia has the same compact structure as others in the series with non-stop flower production to draw in hordes of butterflies. Because it is a seed produced cultivar, about 20% will have yellow tips on the petals (ray florets). Remember, Gaillardias like it hot and sunny and a little on the dry side.
