Product details
How
Sow direct where they are to grow or in trays of Yates® Black Magic® Seed Raising Mix. Cover lightly, firm down and keep moist.
Care
Choose a well drained position in full sun. Add Yates® Thrive® Natural Blood & Bone and Yates® Thrive® Natural Garden Lime before planting, and fertilise regularly with Yates® Thrive® Flower & Fruit Soluble Fertiliser. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Remove faded blooms to prolong flowering. Gaillardias dislike heavy clay soils that stay moist through Winter.
