I planted some Blanket flowers (Gaillardia ‘Goblin’) but they never came back?
Granted it was on very steep slope. I watered well first year. The soil was nothing special, and it was full sun, so I figured I would see these beautiful plants come around for many more years.
Year two, and only two (of five originals planted) came back. Year three… sadly none.
I loved these fellas, but can’t figure out what went wrong. I sort of recall “goblin” winning some sort of award not too long ago for best plant.
Maybe I under watered them year 2, 3, 4 (although I think we had plenty of natural rain in year 2).
I also checked the web, and sometimes I came across comments like “these are short lived” plants.
I would love to try these guys again. Are their better (long lived) species now? I always fall in love with them at the garden centers when they bloom.
Can I try them next year? How do you suceed with yours?
The only thing I know of that can kill them would be the soil. In heavy clay soil they flower less and are likely to die in the winter.
