Plant Mesa Yellow Gaillardia in well-drained soils and full sun in containers or in garden beds. Gaillardias are very drought tolerant once established and do not like wet feet.

Mesa Yellow Gaillardia requires no pruning however, when grown in containers, spent flowers can be deadheaded to encourage increased flowering and more dense plants.
