I have 6 Arizona Sun plants that I planted last fall and I just love them. I'd love to have several in the front yard next year. The problem is they're too expensive to buy.

One has already bloomed and the flower is dying. If I leave it on the plant will the seeds mature so that I can plant them this year and transplant to the front this fall?

How will I know when they're mature?

Found this on a google search for you.

Propagation Methods: Some people save Gaillardia seeds, or propagate with division which is the best way to make sure you get the plant true to form. Some hybrid cultivars won't set true from seed

If you keep it deadheaded all season, you'll have flowers all season and a good looking plant. Then you can divide them in the Fall and have more.

Mine reseeded and now has buds on it. Maybe yours will reseed.
