SpinTop Mariachi Copper Sun Blanket Flower (Gaillardia aristata ‘SpinTop Mariachi Copper Sun’)

SpinTop Mariachi Copper Sun Blanket Flower (Gaillardia aristata ‘SpinTop Mariachi Copper Sun’) is a compact, long-blooming perennial known for its rich copper-orange flowers accented with warm red tones. This vibrant gaillardia provides continuous colour from early summer through fall, making it a reliable choice for sunny borders, pollinator gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes.

The plant forms a tidy, mounded habit with grey-green foliage that complements its warm-toned blooms. Its compact size makes it especially suitable for smaller gardens, edging, and container plantings, while still offering strong visual impact when mass planted. The daisy-like flowers attract bees and butterflies, adding pollinator value to ornamental plantings.

This variety is exceptionally well-suited to Alberta and Prairie climates, where its drought tolerance and heat resistance make it a dependable performer. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring minimal maintenance once established. Avoid overly rich or wet soils, as gaillardia prefers lean conditions.
