Gaillardia ‘SpinTop Red Starburst’ is a compact, long-blooming perennial that throws out vivid red flowers tipped and streaked with golden yellow—each bloom like a small burst of flame held just above tidy, gray-green foliage.

Part of the SpinTop series, it keeps a neat, rounded habit at just 10–12 inches tall, making it ideal for edging borders, filling containers, or massing in sunny beds where color is needed without chaos. It flowers early and keeps at it from late spring well into fall, especially if spent blooms are trimmed away now and then.

This is a plant made for lean conditions—thriving in full sun, tolerating poor soils, and shrugging off heat and drought once established. Too much water or rich soil will do it more harm than good. Butterflies and pollinators will find it quickly, and it will disappoint them.
