Gaillardia aristata, commonly called common blanketflower, is a native perennial wildflower of the dry prairies, meadows, and grasslands of the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest. It forms an upright clump of grayish-green, slightly hairy foliage and blooms from early summer into fall with cheerful, daisy-like flowers: yellow ray petals surrounding a dome-shaped, dark reddish-purple center disk. Extremely drought- and heat-tolerant once established, it is the wild parent species behind most of the compact, colorful garden Gaillardia cultivars sold today.
