| Botanical Name | Gaillardia x grandiflora 'SpinTop' series |
| Description | A "Texas-tough" powerhouse for Willis and Houston landscapes, the 'SpinTop' series of Gaillardia (Blanket Flower) is prized for its exceptionally compact habit and massive flower power. These 1-gallon plants produce large, flat-petaled blooms in striking sunset tones that attract butterflies and bees all season long. It handles our intense summer heat and humidity with ease. To ensure success in local clay, plant in a raised bed or a very well-drained sunny spot; while it is a rugged perennial, it will not survive "wet feet" during our heavy Southeast Texas rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential for maximum blooming and maintaining a tight, mounded shape) |
| Height x Width | 8-12 in. Tall x 8-12 in. Wide |
| Water | Low once established. Very drought-tolerant. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent crown rot during wet Houston months. |
| Zones | 3 - 9 (Reliable perennial for the Houston metro area) |
| Fertilization | Minimal needs. A light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring is sufficient. Too much nitrogen can reduce blooming. |
| Pruning | Deadhead spent flowers regularly to keep the plant looking tidy and to encourage continuous blooming through the fall. Cut back to the ground in late winter. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
