Gallardia 'Arizona Sun'

'Arizona Sun' is an All American Selection Winner that has a compact habit and large bi-colored blooms.  This vibrant bloomer doesn't stop cranking blooms out all summer long.  The blooms are very sunfast, loved by butterflies, and borne in large numbers over top the blue-green foliage.  The plants are very versatile in the garden and can be used as edging plants, in the mid-backdrop, as groundcover when mass planted, or in containers.  These beauties are not a food preference of deer and show some drought resistance.
