This is a trial plant from Skagit Gardens. I’ve never grown Gaillardias before. I have Commotion Tizzy and Commotion Frenzy, and I have to look at the tags to tell them apart.
Now, the digging and dividing of perennials, the general autumn cleanup and the planting of spring bulbs are all an act of faith. One carries on before the altar of delayed gratification, until the ground freezes and you can’t do any more other than refill the bird feeder and gaze through the window, waiting for the snow. . . . Meanwhile, it helps to think of yourself as a pear tree or a tulip. You will blossom spectacularly in the spring, but only after the required period of chilling.

This looks like something hummingbirds would like. I’ve always wanted to grow gaillardias but haven’t yet. Maybe next year as I have the seeds I bought this year – lol.
