The seeds for this plant came from a package of mixed seeds. I am thinking it is some kind of Calendula, but I am not positive. Any ideas?
Thanks Steve. We have some in front of the house also that we purchased from a garden center. The one in the photo is in the greenhouse and does not look anything like the one from the garden center. Ava and I are turning our attention to flowers, and we will be growing carnations and Chinese Asters soon; probably into the winter to fool Mother Nature again.digitS' said:Do note that this is a perennial, Jack.
It has been described as a short-lived perennial and that's about right. Short-lived or not, it self-seeds easily and, it has a remarkably long flower season.
Gaillardia is a native American wildflower. We have them blooming on the dry, sunny slopes above the rivers around here .

I don't think so that it belongs from perennial, but there are lots of similarities with Gaillardia. It might be from Gaillardia group.digitS' said:Do note that this is a perennial, Jack.
