I've had these plants for 3-4 years, they're an easy 5ft tall! I live in zone 5 & I leave them in the ground all year! They have a southeast exposure right alongside of the house. It's a hassel to dig them up & store them over the winter, which wasn't always successful. In the fall I cut them down & throw some leaves on them & wait til next year & they come back bigger & stronger!

BINGO!!! This was a new one to me, to neat not to take home!


I'm not sure what the red one is, but it isn't Gaillardia (Blanket Flower), try a google search for Gaillardia and you'll see what I mean.

But as for Gaillardia, I absolutely love them. They bloom continuously here from April until there is a VERY severe freeze (I guess my bed is in a sort of protected spot), often until December or so.
