That sure is purdy! Looks like it packs a lot of blooms. I'll have to keep an eye out for it...

I just saw this Arizona Sun at my local garden center..also the Fanfare..
They are asking $7.99 for Arizona..and $10.99 for Fanfare. I haven't bought them yet..but I think I might..LOL
I have lots of the Goblin variety..and they are long bloomers..not fussy.

That's beautiful! I want to add several cultivars of gaillardia to my hot colors bed this year.

I've resisted getting 'Goblin' as I've read that it's dwarf. I love the look of Fanfare though!

Thanks kniphofia. I gotta say 'Arizona Sun' is a tough as nails plant here.
