Gaillardia cultivation report

The shape like three-dimensional art is fun! It is strong and resistant to heat and cold, so it is also recommended for beginners!

Hi. I’m Grace, the Fairy of Gaillardia. Gaillardia is a flower native to North America. Gaillardia has a variety of flower colors and flower shapes, and it’s fun, but the one I’d like to especially recommend is the double-flowered type called Plume, which has wedge-shaped petals. Enjoy the unique modeling like a three-dimensional art work!

Gaillardia “almost weekly” cultivation report

3/27start
Seed planting
Grace
Gaillardia seeds are arrowhead-shaped with spines on the buttocks.
4/3
Germination!
Grace
It’s already sprouted!
4/10
The first leaves appear!
Grace
Isn’t it cute to have a little seed attached? “Germination takes place early.”
4/17
The real sprout
Grace
Gaillardia grows bigger and bigger every week. They are strong.
4/24
Growing true leaves
Grace
Feeling the spring breeze like a sailing boat.
5/1
Start growing leaves
Grace
The long and thin leaves are increased little by little.
5/8
2 to 3 leaves
Grace
It seems that you are banzai to the good wind of May
5/15
3 to 4 true leaves
Grace
A little slow growing. Gaillardia’s own pace is that it doesn’t grow when it’s most likely to grow.
5/22
Take a break to grow
Grace
It’s the same with people, but let’s just say that there is a period of time before you grow up, to build up your strength, yeah.
5/29
Still stay
Grace
Eaten by insects and covered with soil by rain. But I am patient.
6/5
Start growing again
Grace
Gaillardia begins to grow as soon as June begins. Were you waiting for the rainy season?
6/12
Jagged leaves, leaves
Grace
Rainy season. When the ground becomes wet all the time, big leaves start appearing.
6/19
The grass grows taller
Grace
When you notice it, the stem is made! “The number of leaves has also increased considerably!”
6/26
One break
Grace
A sunny moment in the rainy season. As soon as the ground dries up, this is it. You must be hydrated at this time of year
7/3
The grass grows even taller!
Grace
I wonder if it’s finally over 30 cm? I thought that all the leaves would be jagged, but spindle-shaped leaves were also growing in their own way, so it’s a flower from the United States (irrelevant?)
7/10
Grow taller
Grace
気が付けばふたたび葉が紡錘形だけに。けっこう代謝してます
7/17
A bud appears!
Grace
It’s a unique chrysanthemum-shaped wide bud. Sounds gorgeous, doesn’t it? “And before you know it, this time it’s a broad leaf!” ?
7/24
Flowering
Grace
Flowering! Rather than say it in a loud voice, it feels like it’s blooming while muttering “blooming…”. The true value of Gaillardia is that the flower grows after it blooms!
7/31
Petals begin to grow
Grace
The petals have started to grow. The unique wedge shape unique to plume species is interesting, isn’t it?
8/7
Flower metabolism starts
Grace
Oh, and now a “cotton hat”! Gaillardia’s flowers have a surprisingly short lifespan, and within a week they turn into seed clusters. And then, as if using this as a signal, new buds begin to bloom one after another.
8/14
New flowers bloom one after another
Grace
This is also an artistic wedge shape!
Grace
When I thought about it, I quickly made a cotton swab!
8/21
A wide variety of flowers bloom
Grace
Look look! “This is a wonderful color and shape!”
Grace
If you think about it, this one is pure yellow. A flower like a crown is artistic, isn’t it?
