Gaillardia grandiflora Burgundy

Gaillardia 'Burgundy', has wonderful waxy red-maroon flowers with slight pale yellow centers. The foliage is a gray-green almost basil like. Burgundy blooms from early June through fall. It is a major attractor to bees, butterflies, birds and resistant to rabbits and deer.

'Burgundy' requires full sun to part shade, but given too much shade, the plants tend to flop over. They will perform best in well-drained or sandy soils (does not tolerate heavy clay), and are highly drought tolerant once established. Do not enrich the soil with compost or other rich ingrediants when planting this perennial. 'Burgundy' will do best in soil that is not too fertile and should not be over watered.

Plants may be divided every 2-3 years in either spring or fall. For the perfect site, try planting in sunny borders, dry or windy sites, in mass plantings or in containers. 'Burgundy' will also produce long-lasting cut flowers, and deadheading spent blooms will prolong the bloom time
