| The Gaillardia seed does not need a pretreatment BUT the plant needs a 10 week cool treatment to flower the first year. |

| Agree, the gaillarda should germinate within 21 days at approx 70F Rudbekia (BES?) is much like echinacea, may or may not need a moist chill. Rudbeckia fulgida, hirta, and maxima , Sow at 68ºF, if no germination in 3-4 weeks, move to 39ºF for 2-4 weeks Rudbeckia laciniata, nitida, occidentalis, and purpurea , Sow at 68ºF, germination slow |

| wow! Already my Gaillardia Arizona Sun and Indian Summer BES are coming up. I just sowed these on Wednesday night! |
