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.
