Grown In
This compact yet large flowered Gaillardia is produced from tissue culture to ensure crop uniformity and performance. It has a dwarf, very compact habit, forming a rounded mound under one foot tall. From early summer to early fall, tangerine orange flowers rimmed in yellow with a yellow center are produced.
These perennials require little care once established. They are heat tolerant and actually prefer to be grown in poorer soils. They get their name from the manner in which they used to blanket North American prairies with their blooms. They can still be found in fields and along roadsides in the prairie region and into the Rockies.

Dividing Perennials/General Info |
Gaillardia requires full sun and well-drained soil in order to prosper. Given too much shade, the plants tend to flop over. Though they will perform best in moist soils, they are highly drought tolerant. Do not enrich the soil with compost or other rich ingredients when planting this perennial. It does best in poor, loose soils and does not tolerate heavy clay. Plants may be divided every 2-3 years in either spring or fall and are also easily grown from seed. Deadheading spent blooms will prolong the bloom time. Soil
