How to grow:
Sow directly outdoors between April and August in a sunny location for flowering the following year. For flowers in the first year, start seeds indoors in March in a soilless mix. Do not cover the seeds, as light encourages germination. Maintain a temperature of 20 to 25°C for 14 to 21 days. Then place the seedlings under a light at a slightly cooler temperature. Harden them off before transplanting outdoors.
Tip: Gaillardias can self-sow, but they are never invasive.
