I have several of these Gallardia plants and they do well for me. If you keep the dead blooms pinched back they will spread out beautifully.

We call them Shasta Daisies and we love them here in our area... they are very easy to grow and they multiply quickly. Very hardy for hot southern states, even in drought...

I go with Blanket Flower or Gallardia. Interesting all the different names plants are given. To me, Shasta Daisies have white petals with yellow centers and Painted Daisies a variety of pastel colors and I've heard of Indian Paintbrush but not Indian Blanket.

That is a blanket flower, I am sure. I have some exactly like it in my garden. They survived this summer's intense UV rays when many other drought-tolerants did not.

a good example of why I prefer to learn the botanical name of a plant. They can have so many common names and some plants with the same common name end up having no relationship. I'm in the Gaillardia group. As others have said, it loves sun and survives on little water. Mine have even disappeared for a year or so then popped back up again.

It is Gaillardia, Goblin, Gaillardia goblin. I am looking at the seed packet right now. I planted these seeds from Burpee. They are beautiful and have continued to bloom all summer long. They are a perennial, so should come back next season. They are heat and dry soil tolerant and like full sun. They reach a height of about 12".

They love hot, dry soil, drought tolerant. Mine keep coming back form seeds every year. I've given so many away. Enjoy! keep snipping off the old blooms so they'll flower longer.

If it has fine, ferny greenery, it could be tickseed.

Gaillardia /ɡeɪˈlɑrdiə/,[3] the blanket flowers,[4] is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, native to North and South America. It was named after an M. Gaillard de Charentonneau,[5][6] an 18th-century French magistrate who was a patron of botany. The common name may refer to the resemblance of the inflorescence to the brightly patterned blankets made by Native Americans, or to the ability of wild taxa to blanket the ground with colonies.[7]
