General Information:
Everblooming Gaillardias. 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.

Plant Care:
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. Best in poor loose soils (no clay).
