Your Gaillardia seems so well behaved. Mine came up so thick last year that I removed most of them before they had a chance to reseed. Most of the plants that came up for this year are in the hellstrip under two foot high bluebonnets. I need to check my bluebonnets so see how well they were pollinated.Michael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-82564210571379609952013-04-25T17:56:08.555-05:002013-04-25T17:56:08.555-05:00Hello there, Shirley!
