It is also naturalized in scattered locations in Europe, Australia, and South America. Gaillardia aristata grows in many habitats. It is a perennial herb reaching maximum heights of anywhere between 8–28". It has lance-shaped leaves near the base and several erect, naked stems holding the flowers. - Indoors: No pre-treatment necessary other than cold, dry storage.

When seedlings are 2" tall, transplant into the garden spaced 1 ft. apart. - Outdoors: Sow seed1/8 inch deep outdoors in either late fall or early spring.
