Gaillardia dwarf goblin

Common Name: Blanket Flower 'Dwarf Goblin'

Description:
Gaillardia 'Dwarf Goblin' is a compact, eye-catching cultivar of the classic Blanket Flower, perfect for small garden spaces, containers, and massed plantings. This hardy perennial boasts brilliant, daisy-like flowers with scarlet-red centres and golden yellow tips, creating a fiery display that draws attention all through the warmer months. Its mounding, low-growing habit makes it ideal for edging garden beds or brightening up patio pots. In Melbourne's climate, 'Dwarf Goblin' performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and good air circulation. It is drought-tolerant once established and highly resistant to pests and diseases. This plant flowers from late spring to early autumn, providing continuous colour with minimal maintenance. Deadheading will extend the blooming period, and it will self-seed in suitable conditions, offering a long-lasting presence in the garden.
