'Goblin' Gaillardia has daisy-like blooms with scarlet petals and fringed yellow tips. Very resistant to heat, humidity, and drought, 'Goblin' blooms all summer delivering continuous, vibrant color. Highly attractive to pollinators. (Gaillardia)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Goblin has been the classic Gaillardia for perennial gardens for
decades. The flowers are large, the plant is shorter than the native,
and the blooming goes on for months, especially if you remove the fading
flowers. A superb color-maker for your border.
The Gaillardias are
one of the great glories of American wildflowers, carpeting whole
landscapes to the horizon in the plains states and the west. The natives
are the famous yellow and white pinwheel bi-colors. In our wildflower
seed department, we sell the much-loved annual, Indian Blanket, and the native perennial as well, G. aristata, often called Blanket Flower.
But
hybridizers are always anxious to improve native plants, no matter how
beautiful they may be. And in this case, they have. Goblin is one of
the oldest, and still probably the most popular hybrid, with very
large flowers and a long bloom season.
Many other newer hybrids
emphasize one color or the other--the red or the yellow. And in very
recent years, even the flower form has changed. With Fanfare, we were
introduced to Gaillardias with tubular ray petals, each one a miniature
flaring trumpet. Now that form is expanded with the exciting new
Commotion group. And the stunning new Dakota Reveille has turned the
whole flower into a fluffy ball of petals.
All are great garden perennials, tough as oaks, great for color, and as dependable as they come.
