This Gaillardia Bloomin Colourful Mix lives up to its name with large daisy-like flowers featuring bright yellow centres.

🌸 Flowering: June to October
📏 Height: to 75cm

SOW: sow seeds during March to April in a tray with seed compost. Cover them lightly with perlite or vermiculite, then pop the tray in a cold frame. They usually take 2–3 weeks to germinate. When the seedlings have their first true leaves, pot them on into small pots and start hardening them off gradually.
GROW: space your plants about 20cm apart. They might need a bit of staking as they grow. They love a sunny spot with well-drained soil—right in the middle of a border is a good home for them.
ENJOY: keep the blooms coming by removing dead heads. These sturdy flowers CUT well for vases and help bring POLLINATORSinto your garden.
