GAILLARDIA

Half-hardy perennial



All the Gaillardias are most conveniently grown as annuals from seed.

The plants remain in bloom for a long period, and for their gorgeous

colouring the flowers are as highly prized for arranging in bowls and

vases as for garden decoration. The best month in which to sow seed is

March, and the plants will then be ready for putting out in May. Any

good compost will answer, and only a moderate temperature is necessary

to bring up the seedlings. The usual course of procedure in pricking off

must be adopted to keep them short and stout.
