  • The flower diameter is slightly smaller than its perennial cousin Gaillardia aristata
  • Prefers well drained, lighter and sandy soils, but adapts well to varying soil types
  • Adapted for full sun and is heat and drought tolerant
  • Good choice for habitat plantings, roadside vegetation and pollinator habitats
