Gaillardia x grandiflora, or more commonly known as Blanket Flower or Gaillardia, is a sun-hardy wildflower perennial native to North America from the Yukons and Québec down into the American southwest, but has since naturalized throughout many similar climates across the world. The genus Gaillardia pays homage to an 18th century French magistrate and enthusiastic patron of botany.
