Zones: 2-9
Bloom Span: Three to Four Months
Growing Conditions: Full sun; stems will become floppy if given too
much shade
Care: Gaillardia’s provide attractive yellow petals with burgundy
centers. Gaillardia will bloom all summer if provided full sun
conditions without deadheading. Deadheading will, however, help
keep the plant attractive in appearance. The plant itself does not live
very long and, therefore, should be seeded or divided often.
Good Species Choices: Burgandy (Gaillardia), Goblin – dwarf variety
(also Gaillardia), and Monarch (also Gaillardia).
