In the USA, Gaillardia pulchella is found predominantly from Lousiana west to Arizona and Kansas south to Texas. It is widely cultivated in Florida. It is probably not native to Florida nor the rest of the eastern USA (Weakley 2020). A DNA phylogeny found G. pulchella closely related to other species of the southwestern USA (Marlowe & Hufford 2007).
