Gaillardia pulchella Annual, a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family.  Antique, extra showy variety named after M. Gaillard de Charentonneau, an 18th-century French magistrate who was a patron of botany.  Dating back to at least 1886.  This cultivar of a native North-American wildflower has been around more than a century under different names, but it's a new discovery for us.  The 2-3” quilled florets bloom in an array of red and golden hues on a 1x1’ mounded plant, 12-18" tall.  Quite the showstopper, Lorenziana got top ratings for its masses of blooms over a long period of time in Florida trials.  In central Maine trials, too.  The genus is salt tolerant, heat tolerant, drought tolerant, deer-proof, and—in the words of a Florida theme park director—"butt hardy," meaning it can bounce back after people sit on it.  Besides people, it also attracts bees, butterflies, and birds. Exemplary cut flower.  Start 6-8 weeks early or direct seed.  Blooms all summer if deadheaded.  Full sun.

We never 'pass the savings' of expensive shipping charges to the customer and always ship as economically as possible.  Sometimes this becomes a juggling act between cost-of-goods vs. cost-of-container vs. shipment size vs. shipping cost vs. margins.  With combined shipping, it's all in the packing and we'll always find the most inexpensive shipping method available.  But there are times when it's impossible to ship economically and we'll always let you know before paying.  The shipping for all items sold by NYCfigs will combine automatically with all other items purchased from NYCfigs.  Items that ship free can't be discounted.  In the rare instance of excess shipping charges, NYCfigs will refund after the invoice is paid.  This ensures your items are received in a timely manner.
