Gaillardia (named for M. Gaillard, a patron of botany in France). Composite. Showy annual and perennial herbs largely cultivated in borders and flower- gardens.
Leaves alternate, more or less toothed, and spotted: fls. in solitary and usually very showy heads, the rays yellow and red and always neutral, the disk-fls. purple and fertile; involucre broad, the bracts in 2 or 3 series, hairy; ligules 3-toothedor3-cleft, giving a fringed appearance to the fls.—There are 12 species, all American, mostly from the far W.
There are two types of gaillardias, — the annual forms, which derived from G, pulchella and G. amblyodon, chiefly from the former; and the perennials, which issue from G. aristata. The gaillardias are conspicuous for profusion and duration of flowers. A constant succession is produced all summer, until very late into the autumn. Besides their use as border or bedding plants they are good for cut-flowers, as they last well in water. They thrive best in light, open. well-drained soil, and should have full sunlight and air. In heavy or wet soils the plants are often winterkilled. The perennial forms are propagated by division, seeds or cuttings in August or September; also by root-cuttings in early spring. They usually do not breed true from seed and as better plants are produced by cuttings it is the most satisfactory method of propagation. G. grandiflora and its many varieties are garden forms of G. aristata (see Gt. 49, p. 583. G. 7:499). Some of the more recent introductions have highly colored flowers of extraordinary size, at least 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Another kind has quilled florets (G. fistulosa) of which Buffalo Bill is an excellent example,—a large, pure yellow with a narrow disk. Vivian Grey is also a remarkable and most distinct form, with clear yellow fringed rays, and disk of the same color. More recent introductions include G. kermesina splendens with narrow canary-yellow rays and rich crimson disk, and G. sulphurea oculata with pale sulfur, and bright maroon disk-flowers. Other trade names referable to no botanical species are G. hybrida grandiflora, G. Josephus, G. semiplena, and G. loiselii (=picta loiselii,H.F.U.8:32Q1).
