Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Goblin' may be small in stature but the flowers are as big as any blanket flower! Large, daisy-like flowers bloom mid summer through to fall, and the petals are a rich maroon red, tipped with yellow and surrounding a red eye. Leaves are large and grey green. The whole plant stands about 12 inches tall and spreads about 18 inches. Nice at the front of a sunny border, in the parkstrip, or rock garden.
