Many Gallardias hate clay and too much water & fertilizer. I see them growing
in the worst sandy soils like weeds! But of course... they are weeds in some
places. Cultivars are likely to be even more temperamental! Too bad as I love
the color of Gaillardia "Burgundy"!
Blessings of the Midsummer Season!
