Positive BlackDogKurt On Sep 6, 2008, BlackDogKurt from Seymour, CT wrote:

Very floriferous. Blooms non-stop all summer long! Looks like an annual the way it blooms. Very showy, with almost pure red blooms - not at all magenta or pink. It should be deadheaded regularly to clean up all the spent blooms. Most Gaillardias tend to be short-lived perennials, burning out after a few years, but they reseed readily.

These plants (Monarch variety) have done very well in El Paso; the only current problem is that live oak leaves built up under a large mat of the plant and after it rained retained the water, leading, I believe, to some root rot issues. I'm trying to save it, raked away the leaves, sprinkled some sulphur.

In Tallahassee, Florida, this plant heavily in fall, bloomed lightly all winter and bloomed very heavily from February-March. Then it seemed to collapse. I have sheared it back. We have had drought but it gets watered with a drip hose. Does anyone know if the plant will recover? Do they regularly wilt out after long periods of bloom?

GAILLARDIA Burgundy - Medium 24" - Plant 12" apart. Rich wine red flowers.

General Information:
Ever-blooming from the early summer on. Very showy banded flowers "blanket" this plant. The ends of the petals have a torn ruffled appearance. Butterflies are drawn to it. New plantlets can be started by cutting straight down along the side of a clump in midsummer. New plants will form at the severed roots. Completely carefee. Best in poor loose soils (no clay).

This plant is so easy, so rewarding, and such a hummingbird magnet - I will never be without it in my garden. Easy to divide, fills in quickly, and never without bloom of a really deep, saturated color - A+++
