Gaillardia aristata, commonly known as Blanket Flower, is a stunning native perennial that brings vibrant color to gardens throughout the summer. Growing up to 2 to 3 feet in ideal conditions, it is not only drought-tolerant but also a great choice for low-maintenance gardening. The seeds of this plant are easy to germinate, making it an excellent project for children to learn about native pollinator plants.

The striking red and yellow flowers of Blanket Flower are highly attractive to native bees and other pollinators. Interestingly, pollinators see in ultraviolet light, allowing them to perceive a unique "road map" on flowers that guides them to the nectar. Native plants like Gaillardia aristata maintain this natural guidance system, whereas hybridized plants may alter these signals, potentially confusing pollinators.

To create a sustainable and effective pollinator garden, it's crucial to select true native species. By planting Gaillardia aristata and other true native plants, you support local ecosystems, help maintain biodiversity, and ensure that pollinators can find and access the food they need efficiently.
