Gaillardia (Blanket Flower) Goblin

Goblin Variety Gaillardia (Blanket Flower) are daisies with serrated tips on the ray petals. These perennials are very tough and cheerful. Downy green leaves grow in low rosettes and have a hairy texture.   You can see my scabosia pincushion flower in the background.  This Goblin is blooming like crazy this year.

I've not had much luck with gaillardia in my garden. I've heard that this variety called "Goblin" is a good performer. I am hoping for a good show of color and form from this flower this year.
