Gaillardia pulchella ‘Dazzler’ produces bold, bicoloured flowers with deep red centres tipped in clear yellow, creating strong contrast and sustained colour through summer. The blooms sit on sturdy stems above grey-green foliage, giving the plant a bright, open presence even in hot conditions.
Derived from Gaillardia pulchella, a species native to the southern United States and Mexico, this strain reflects the toughness and floriferous habit of the wild plant. Flowers open in succession over a long season, maintaining colour and structure without becoming dense or coarse. Seed-raised plants may show slight variation in pattern and intensity, contributing to an informal, natural appearance.
Growth is compact and spreading, with flowering strongest in full sun on well-drained soil. Plants remain upright and free-flowering even where moisture is limited, continuing to produce colour into early autumn.
