How To Grow Gaillardia Flower:Once a set of true leaves appear, thin out the seedlings. Each pot must only have the healthiest plant. Transplant Gaillardia seedlings outdoors once the plantings are mature enough. Choose a well-lit planting site with rich, well-drained soil. Spacing in between plants must be 12 inches.At the beginning of flowering season, fertilize Gaillardias. Apply an all-purpose slow release fertilizer on the soil every couple of months. Fertilizer with analysis 10-10-10 is recommended. You may also scatter compost surrounding the plant’s base. Promote Gaillardia’s optimal blooming by topping the compost with blood n’ bone and foliar sprays of worm wee. Water the plants every 10 days or as necessary during summer and autumn. The soil must not be waterlogged. If you prefer container plants, choose pots with 5 to 6 inches diameter for final potting.Propagation Methods: Some people save Gaillardia seeds, or propagate with division which is the best way to make sure you get the plant true to form. Some hybrid cultivars won't set true from seed.
