Identifying a mystery plant.

[Duronal]

If anyone can help identify this plant i'd be most appreciative. To my humble eye it looked like a giant daisy........but all the wrong colours and shape

These are growing in the next door neighbours garden at my recently vacated flat. unfortunately the owner has recently passed on so i can't ask her advice on what they are but i really fancy growing some as a memory of my time there. Any ideas?

P.S for what it's woth they seem to have a similar leaf shape to that of a poppy.

Gerbera? I don't know them well, but looks a bit like the ones I see in garden centres from time to time.

Looks like a gaillardia to me . I`ve grown them from seed before but they are not very hardy & seem to die after a couple of years.

they are gallardia i got some in my garden now which i grew from seed last year they survived last winter dont know about this one coming though ill keep a couple indoors just in case , they are easy to grow anyway so i think ill start some more of tomoro,


duronal; google gallardia,[ think you will find thats wat they are] but you can make your own mind up

Fantastic! thankyou so much for your help guys and gals. I'll have to try get some seeds and plant them up shapish to try and make it this season. Off to the seed swap first!
