How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Rarely bothered by pests and diseases. Slugs may be an issue for young plants - Keep the area around the plant debris free and as dry as possible, especially at night as slugs and snails love damp conditions. You can use barriers such as crushed egg shells, grit or copper wire to surround the plant - these will prevent slugs and snails from reaching the leaves.

Water regularly

Water regularly in the lead up to the flowering season

Full sun

Gaillardia thrive in a sheltered spot with around 6-8 hours of sunlight daily

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Plant in any fertile, well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, add some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.

Feed annually

Apply a general purpose fertiliser when newly planted and then each spring when new growth appears ?v=1613300718
