Description
The 'Kobold' Blanket Flower or Gaillardia x grandiflora is a compact perennial that is abundantly flowering. Its red-orange flowers with yellow borders bloom continuously from June to October, attracting insects and adding vibrant colours to the season. It prefers well-drained soils and full sun.
Belonging to the Asteraceae family, the Kobold Blanket Flower has 5 cm (2in) diameter head-shaped flowers. Their centre is composed of tubular florets that form a dense core, with a changing colour: red on the outer edge and turning greenish-yellow towards the centre. They are surrounded by ligules forming bicoloured tongues: red-orange on two-thirds and yellow at the tips. It is these vibrant shades that make it so interesting. They blend well with other summer flowers and bring life to flowerbeds. The heads are carried by downy stems emerging from a clump of lanceolate leaves, quite long (8/10 cm (3/4in)) and slightly greyish-green. Its compact habit (35 cm (14in) tall) is suitable for many combinations in the front of flowerbeds and in pots. Don't hesitate to pick them to create small bouquets; they will brighten your interior.
Like most Blanket Flowers, Kobold requires little maintenance: remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms. You can cut back all the stems in late autumn to strengthen the clump. However, it dislikes high humidity and does not appreciate being in waterlogged soil. Choose a sunny location and even slightly rocky soil.
At the base of Coreopsis, Rudbeckias, and Heleniums, the 'Kobold' Blanket Flower complements the palette of summer and autumn colours. However, it can also provide contrast in multicoloured arrangements. Self-reliant and carefree, it brings life to the garden for an extended period.

Planting and care
The Gaillardia 'Kobold' is not demanding in terms of soil richness, and can make do with even poor substrate. On the other hand, it does not appreciate humidity and can be susceptible to powdery mildew. So opt for well-drained, even stony soil and a sunny spot to encourage flowering. Keep an eye out for gastropods when planting.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
