Description
Gaillardia x grandiflora 'Arizona Sun' is a vibrant, compact evergreen perennial known for its striking blooms in fiery shades of red and orange, edged with golden yellow. Its daisy-like flowers make a bold statement in cottage gardens, borders, or pots. This sun-loving plant thrives in Perth’s warm climate and blooms prolifically from late spring (Kambarang) through early summer (Birak), adding warmth and colour to any garden.
'Arizona Sun' prefers full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for sandy or loamy conditions. Water sparingly once established, as it is drought-tolerant and thrives in low-water gardens. Regular deadheading of spent flowers encourages continuous blooms, while a light trim in autumn (Djeran) helps maintain its neat, bushy form. Perfect for creating vibrant, low-maintenance displays in your garden or patio pots.
