Fill sunny spaces with the fiery color of Native Texas Gaillardia Indian Blanket Firewheel. This Texas native wildflower produces daisy-like blooms with deep red centers and petals tipped in golden yellow. Also known as Firewheel, Gaillardia pulchella brings vivid color to native gardens, wildflower meadows, xeriscapes, and pollinator plantings. Plants handle heat and dry conditions well once established, while the nectar-rich blooms welcome bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. This packet contains 500 non-GMO heirloom seeds.

Why Choose Native Texas Gaillardia Indian Blanket Firewheel?

• Distinctive Texas Color: Crimson-red petals with golden-yellow tips create the warm, fiery pattern behind the Indian Blanket and Firewheel names.
• Heat and Drought Tolerant: Established plants suit hot, sunny landscapes and water-conscious garden designs.
• Pollinator Friendly: Open, nectar-rich flowers help attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
• Long-Season Interest: Plants can flower over an extended period under favorable conditions and may reseed where they are happy.
• Non-GMO Heirloom Seed: Grow a traditional native wildflower valued for beauty, resilience, and habitat support.

Planting Tips for Success

• Choose Full Sun: Plant where the flowers will receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight for sturdy growth and abundant color.
• Use Well-Draining Soil: Indian Blanket tolerates lean and sandy soils but performs poorly in waterlogged ground.
• Sow Near the Surface: Scatter the seeds over prepared soil, press them in gently, and cover only lightly so they remain close to the surface.
• Time the Planting: Sow according to local wildflower guidance, commonly in fall in mild climates or in spring after severe frost danger has passed.
• Water During Establishment: Keep the seedbed lightly and evenly moist until seedlings establish, then reduce watering as plants mature.
• Allow Airflow: Thin or space plants roughly 12 to 18 inches apart so sunlight and air can reach the foliage.
• Fertilize Sparingly: Rich fertilizer is usually unnecessary and can encourage soft foliage instead of the compact flowering growth preferred in native plantings.
• Encourage Reseeding: Leave some mature flower heads in place at the end of the season if natural reseeding is desired.
