Goblin Blanket Flower
Goblin is a shorter cultivar of blanket flower grown for its mounding shape and large number of flowers. Before it blooms, it grows as a mound of greenish-gray leaves.
In July, the daisy-like flowers are produced on stalks above the leaves. The flowers are bi-colored with red/yellow petals and deep red domed centers. The seedheads are round, prickly and red until the seeds mature and disperse.
At its peak, Goblin blanket flower is a nice perennial flower with unusual bi-colored blossoms. It is drought-tolerant and adaptable to many landscape situations in the Pikes Peak area. Since it can be a short-lived plant, lasting about 3 to 4 years, we routinely replace any plants that have died.
