Excellent for cutting, Gaillardia 'Burgundy' (Blanket Flower) is a bushy, often short-lived herbaceous perennial with large, deep wine-red flowers, up o 3 in. across (7 cm), adorned with a button-like center which emerges bright yellow and then slowly matures to oxblood-red. Blooming continuously from early summer into fall, the daisy-like flowers are borne on very long stems and are ideal for cutting.
