The present investigation was carried out to assess the performance of ten Gaillardia pulchella foug. Genotypes ( SG 1, SG 2, SG -3, SG- 4, SG -5, SG – 6, SG -7, SG -8, SG -9 and SG - 10) for their growth, flowering, yield and quality characters. Significant differences were observed for all parameters studied. The results revealed that maximum height of plant (72.33 cm), branches plant-1 (17.66), plant spread N-S & E-W (64.99 cm) was recorded in genotype in in SG-11, fresh weight (1426.33 g) and dry weight (221.33g) was recorded in genotype SG – 2. As regards flowering parameters viz., days to first flower bud initiation (48.66 days) and days to 50 per cent flowering (57.53 days) were recorded early in genotype SG -7. As regards quality parameters i. e. diameter of flower (7.72 g) recorded maximum in genotypes SG – 3 and weight of flowers (4.77g) in genotypes SG-7. Yield parameters viz., number of flower per plant (60.67) was maximum in genotype SG-4, yield of flower per plant (288.02 g) and ha-1 (21.87 t) in genotype 5.
