Gaillardia pulchella is commonly treated as an annual, though persistence can vary with conditions.
Botanical characteristics
Its flower heads display warm red, orange and yellow tones. Sunny sites and freely draining soil suit the species. It is one parent of garden Gaillardia hybrids, but those hybrid groups are not identical to this species.
Daisy-like and double flower forms
Resellers can compare Lorenziana double mixed with single flowered mixture and Sundance mix. The flower-form and group names help separate these bulk seed references before comparing colour.
