How to Grow Gaillardia from Seeds [with UPDATES]

How to Grow Gaillardia (also known as Blanket Flower, Indian Blanket) from Seeds - Gaillardia is one of the best summer flowering plants that you can grow at your home. The thing that I love about Gaillardia most is that, it's not a woody plant like many other summer flowering plants (for example, Hibiscus). So, you can have a colorful garden with lots of blooms if you grow the Gaillardia.
While growing Gaillardia from seeds, please make sure you buy the good quality seeds. Also, if you have space issues, always go for the drawf variety of Gaillardia instead of the taller variety.
It's really easy to grow Gaillardia from seeds and I made the steps even simple so that you get better than the best germination rate. If you have any questions, please let me know and I would get back to you asap. Thank you very much for watching and have a great day :-)

Perfect, I've collected the seeds from plants, planted them several times, and NONE came up. Thanks for sharing. Great video:)

@Leah Allen, Glad to know you found it helpful and thank you very much for watching :-) Good luck in growing them, they are best for the Summer garden.

Do they need warmth as well or just sunlight or both ? Im in uk and its cold here so can i use a heated propergator to start them off ?

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Britmatt, thank you for your question. Sunlight would be enough n definitely you can use a heated propagator. I haven't use a heated propagator yet as temperature in my place is not that low in my place. So, trying to give you some ideas about my environment - Gaillardia is grown as a summer flower plant but they are still blooming, even in winter (of course size of the blooms is smaller than summer). The nighttime temperature is around 10°C n I know if I sow seeds now, they would germinate. They are hardy and germinate quite fast. Hope this is helps. Plz let me know if you have any question and I would get back to you ASAP!

Gardening Upbeat. Thanks for the video. In which city did you sprout this? I am still waiting since 2 weeks. It's still not sprouted. May be it's too cool here.

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Nik Rao, Most welcome and thank you for watching :-) They don't take that much time to germinate and you are right, it's because of the cold. I am from Guwahati (Assam, INDIA). Thank you :-)

I have several of these blossoming in a small plot in my front yard. Can i remove them from the ground and replant in a pot? And how do i care for them once i the pots?

[@naimnizam9485]

After sprouting around two weeks, should we put the plant under direct sunlight?

[@anenlightenedmisfit6262]

For winters yes, for summer only morning and evening sunlight.

[@GardeningOfficial67]

When you have pulled out seedlings from that round bowl , then seedlings roots they are exposed outside so will it survive later

[@GardeningUpbeat]

Sure, they would and nothing would happen to any seedlings while doing that. If you like, you can check out the result (from seedlings to flowering) here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYbagHSsrK6Kl7M

When will I sow this seed?

[@shristinursery212]

final poting mix ratio kya hain bro.? plant ko pinching karna cahiye pls. comment

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Gogoi's Gardening, I would upload the video very soon showing lots of blooms :-) Anyway, they grow well in any kind of soil. But, I use 50% - normal garden soil, 25% - Cocopeat & 25% - Vermicompost. Anyway, this is the best potting soil mix we can use for most of the plants except few (like indoor plants + succulents etc). PINCHING - Absolutely not needed n plz don't do it. If you do, you might harm the crown of the plant.

Easier if planted in a seedling tray. Also, my seed packet said to plant them with the seed tip facing down in the dirt.

[@Zicoda]

Hello Can Gaillardia seeds be sown now? In Jan? temp here is around 12-15 celsius here will they germinate?

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Zico, I am really very sorry for the late reply. 12-15 is bit low as you are not going to get good germination rate or the seedlings would be weak. They are still blooming in my place (now it's 14°C on 10-01-2020: 4:35 AM) but size of the blooms is really very small as they need high temperature. So, I would recommend you to grow them when the temp is above 20+ Celsius.

[@Zicoda]

@@GardeningUpbeat Thank you for guidance :) then I'll wait till temp rise after two months
