Gailardia

[Reks]

Hi All,
I have a Gailarida since last 3 years. I think I pruned it rather harshly last autumn. Now I can see new shoots but they r not growing very fast, I mean they have been new shoots since last 2 months. I am worried if these are signs that my plant is going to die
It gets full sunlight and I ocassionally water it leaving after the soil is dry for some time. Any tips on what I can do to get my plant going. Also I have read they dont like to be fertilized so haven't added any this year. Please help!

Is it getting eaten by slugs? they seem to love mine!

I've found Gailardia quite difficult in my heavy clay and I think it is pretty tender, prefering warmer conditions than are usually experienced here so mine are also tardy.

I am looking forward to some growing tips on this thread.
