From MN Wildflowers:
This species of the western mixed and tall grass prairies is diminishing in our state with the loss of these eceosystems, as are insects like the Dakota Skipper (currently listed as Threatened on the Federal Endangered Species list) that depend on Blanketflower and other native species for its survival. According to the DNR, Blanketflower was listed as a species of Special Concern in Minnesota primarily due to habitat loss. Gaillardia pulchella, a southern US species not native to Minnesota (but occasional garden escapee) is similar but with more red than yellow in the flower, and is an annual to short-lived perennial. The native Blanketflower makes an excellent garden plant, blooming from spring to fall.
