Discovered by Richard Reed in the UK, this hot gaillardia is ready to take the perennial world by storm. I don’t usually get excited by gaillardias, but I’ll never forget the first time I laid eyes on this beauty…my wife slapped me (just kidding). The compact, 15″ tall x 12″ wide, well-branched mound is topped from June to August with the most incredible flowers. Each upturned 3″ wide flower head looks as if miniature honeysuckle flowers are attached to a central cone. Each floret is red at the base, changing to bright yellow at the flared tips. You’ve got to see this to believe it.
