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.
Honeysuckle vines are grown for their showy, fragrant flowers, which are a favorite of hummingbirds and butterflies. The honeysuckle fruits also attract birds. Honeysuckle vines can quickly cover a trellis or fence. Exactly how fast they grow depends on the variety, soil fertility, moisture and sunlight. In a woody plant, fast growth means more than 2 to 3 feet per year. Honeysuckles easily outdo that by growing from 7 to 30 feet, depending on the variety and conditions. Because flowers are produced on 1- or 2-year-old wood, the vine should be pruned back after flowering every year so it can produce new wood.
