Wildflower Field notes: Blanket Flower derived its common name from patterns found in Indian Blankets. This beautiful wildflower can be grown in your flower beds at home. During the spring planting season your local Garden Center will have pre-started containers of Gaillardia aristata available. 

Look for Blanket Flower in sunny areas along roadways, in meadows and fields, and clearings in pine or aspen forests.
