The plant thrives on direct sun and heat and it can resist drought quite well, also, it doesn’t require much fertilizer since it isn’t usually bothered by many bugs.

Gaillardia is a short-lived perennial that really adores the sunlight and summer heat. Its daisy-like flowers are either bi- or tricolored in beautiful shades of yellow, burgundy, orange, and gold. Also, sweet butterflies are frequent visitors.

This plant is an amazing option for a big container since its size ranges from dwarf to 3 ft tall. However, Gaillardia will do just great in any patch of slightly sandy, well-drained soil that gets full sun. Moreover, this is a drought-resistant plant that blooms beautifully from late spring through autumn.
