The Blanket Flower, Gaillardia grandiflora is a perennial member of the sunflower family. The bright, daisy like flower heads of the Gaillardia may reach up to 4 inches across. Blanket Flowers may be single or double flowered, depending on the variety. These perennials generally grow from two to three feet tall, but there are also many new hybrid strains which include dwarf varieties like Gaillardia grandiflora 'Goblin' that only attain a height of a foot. Gaillardia flowers may be single or bi-colored and range from yellow to red or orange. Gaillardias are hardy in USDA zones 4-10. Blanket flowers grow best when grown in full sun. Plant them 15-18 inches apart in light, well drained soil.
I received a potted Calla lily as a gift and donât know anything about it. I would like some information on how to care for it. Potted Calla lilies will usually bloom for 4-6 weeks.They grow well in bright filtered light in the winter months and partial shade in the summer and prefer temperatures of 70-85F in summer and 60-75F in the winter/spring. Cooler temperatures will help keep the plant and flowers longer.olored callas planted in the spring will bloom in summer and then go dormant in the fall. Hardiness If you live in zone 7-10, Calla lily can also be planted anytime outdoors and left year round. Space the tubers 1-1 1/2 feet appart so they have room to spread.
