I've tried and failed a couple of times to grow Gaillardia from seed, but it has been great at reseeding on it's own. I've moved and only brought one plant with me, so I'm going to have to purchase some seed somewhere and give it another try. I can't remember what I did now, since it was a couple of years ago. I do know that I tried winter sowing, as well as planting some in the spring. Nothing at all grew. I don't think I kept the soil overly wet. I just sprayed it when it was drying out on top.
Is there some special secret to growing it from seed? Thanks for any advice!
