Consideraciones:

A series of studies in the last 10 years are suggesting that Gaillardia pulchella is likely not native to Florida. It is widely grown and naturalized in Florida especially near the coasts, but it is probably not native east of Texas (Weakley et al. 2020). If you plant this plant, as many of have done, it is best to treat is as a non-invasive non-native. It is a North American native believed to have its native range in the south-central US.
