PerennialHybrid Mesa delivers a more uniform habit with more flowers than typical open pollinated varieties, a trait that has been consistently demonstrated in our trials. Growers appreciate these two qualities in both crop scheduling and sales. Gardeners enjoy continuous blooms all season long and the inherent drought tolerance. Because Mesas are first year flowering perennials, they are an excellent choice for mixed containers, gardens and landscapes. Gaillardia is commonly known as Blanket Flower. Color: Medium to dark red
