Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Monarch' is a gaillardia cultivar chosen for its long season of bloom and its nearly red petals tipped with yellow, colors reminiscent of the Monarch butterfly. Leaves are grey-green, oblong, and lobed. Grows about 24 to 36 inches tall and wide. Excellent cut flower, or as an addition to a perennial border of butterfly garden.
