Most Gaillardia will grow between 40-50cm tall each summer from the perennial rootstock. They tend to be short-lived and often die during the winter if the soil is wet. The flowers are big daisies in the yellow-orange-red spectrum, usually multicoloured, and appear in succession from June to August.
In Autumn, cut the flower stalks down to ground level and mulch the crowns with garden compost or manure. Every few years, lift and divide the crowns and replant the best parts, discarding any old or dead sections.
No toxic, culinary or medicinal properties known.
