This is a lovely colour. I know they are supposed to be perennials but do you find thet they survive the winter? Mine always seem to die after one season.

Yes, these survive, and we get fairly harsh winters. I wish I would have saved the seed packet so I knew which exact type they are! I started them sometime before 2001, which is when I started a journal (so nothing noted unfortunately). I did get them for the all red color, which I love in the garden. : )

Update - I found the seed packet, and this one is Gaillardia aristata 'Burgundy'.

Thanks for the name. I must look for some seeds.
