My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Winter Sowing

Your quickest to bloom?

14 years ago

I winter sowed gaillardia seeds this year in January and one had a flower before the end of May. I think it was from the Grandiflora mix that I got from Swallowtail Seeds. The bloom looks sort of like 'Fanfare' with tubular petals. I have several more from the mix that haven't flowered yet but also planted some gaillardia aristata seeds and I don't know which is which. They have both grown fast.

I only got three seedlings from my gaillardia 'Arizona Apricot'. The other gaillardias came up thickly but that one was almost a dud. They're smaller too but I think they'll do ok, and if all three live, still worth the price of a pack of seed I guess.
