Gaillardia Grandiflora Goblin
Gaillardia is one of the showiest of all border plants, bearing huge, daisy-type flowers in vivid shades of yellow, red, and orange. Gaillardia Goblins are hardy perennials but there are a few annual varieties. Single-flowered types are attractive to pollinators.
Gaillardias flower their socks off from summer to autumn on stout stems up to 30cm high, above basal clumps of grey-green leaves. Gaillardia is native to North America and its common name, blanket flower, is said to have come from the central boss of the flower resembling the colourful blankets woven by some Native Americans. Its botanical name is derived from the name of a patron of botany in the 18th century, Madame Gaillard de Charentonneau.
These Plug Plants will need to be potted up into 9cm/10cm pots for growing on. Once roots start to appear from the drainage holes in the pot, your plant is ready to be planted out in a sunny location. These will usually flower in the first year.

Plant Care
Gaillardia is easy to grow and requires little care. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more to form, and then cut all stems back to the ground once flowering is over. Remember gaillardias do best in nutrient-poor soil so it's best not to fertilise or mulch as you would with other perennials. Protect young plants from slugs/snails.
