Gallardias. 10.7.18

Gallardia planted Aug, 2018

Gallardia Planted in 2017
I don't know when the year-old gallardia startied blooming this year.  I think, early summer.  I didn't dead head it regularly.  I almost never watered it.  Deer and rabbits did not touch it.  It just continued to grow and bloom.  I bought the other one this summer.  I forgot it was in the car, and it dried out to crispy brown flowers, although the wilted leaves were still green-ish.  Then I saw it and planted it.  That plant recovered, and is now blooming again.

These are tough flowers.  Inspired, I've bought some seeds to cultivars with other color nuances.
