The 'Fanfare' Gaillardia (Gaillardia x grandiflora 'Fanfare') is an extremely happy accident. Originating as a chance seedling, this perennial from spring to fall bears an enormous number of gorgeous flowers with fluted yellow-and-red petals and dark red centers. Given full sun, it forms a compact mound 14 inches high and 18 inches wide--perfect for beds, borders, and containers. Each plant can have as many as 100 flowers. Oh, and like all Gaillardias, it's also known as Indian Blanket Flower.
