Gaillardia aristata SpinTop™ ‘Red’ (Blanket Flower)
Gaillardia aristata SpinTop™ ‘Red’ is a compact, high-impact perennial that blankets the garden in rich, medium-red blooms from spring through fall. Each large, flat flower features toothy-tipped petals surrounding a golden center, creating a warm, sun-drenched look that’s irresistible to butterflies and pollinators. With its excellent branching, tight habit, and nonstop flower power, this variety performs beautifully in containers, borders, and landscape beds. Exceptionally heat and drought tolerant once established, ‘SpinTop Red’ is a reliable, low-maintenance choice that delivers color all season long.

Why It’s a Creekside Champion™:
We love ‘SpinTop Red’ for its bold, fiery blooms, long-lasting color, and compact form that thrives in the summer sun with little care required.

Maintenance Notes: 

The SpinTop Red prefers well-drained soil and performs best in full sun conditions. Once established, it is both drought tolerant and highly heat tolerant, making it an excellent choice for warm climates and low-maintenance landscapes.

For continuous flowering, deadheading spent blooms can help encourage reblooming throughout the season. However, later in the season it can be beneficial to leave the spent flowers on the plant, as the developing berries provide an important food source for birds and other wildlife.

Thanks to its heat tolerance, drought resistance, and ability to support pollinators and birds, the SpinTop Red is a reliable and versatile addition to landscapes, garden beds, and container gardens.
