Mountain Valley Seed Company Gaillardia Arizona Series

Yes, they are perennials. In hardiness zones 3 through 10, these plants will return year after year, making them a reliable choice for long-term garden planning.

Absolutely. Because of their compact, upright growth habit—reaching only 8 to 10 inches in height—they are an excellent choice for pots, window boxes, and smaller containers.

Gaillardia requires full sun to thrive. For the best bloom production and plant health, ensure they are planted in a spot that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

One of the best features of the Arizona series is that they are very low maintenance. While you can deadhead them to tidy up the appearance, they do not require it to continue producing blooms throughout the season.

Quite the opposite. They are naturally deer-resistant, meaning deer are unlikely to browse on them. Additionally, they are highly attractive to beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, which helps support a healthy garden ecosystem.

You can expect germination to occur within 10 to 12 days after planting. Ensure you plant them at a shallow depth of about 0.25 inches for the best results.
