If you are looking for a floral eye-catcher, you should enrich your garden with the fiery-beautiful cockade flower (Gaillardia). From yellow to orange to red, the flowers of some species are monochrome, but mostly shine in color gradients and have contrasting points. Very popular is the variety "goblin" whose bright red flowers with their golden yellow wreath are like fireworks. Also on the post stamp of the permanent series "Flowers", which appears in July, she hits her bright wheel. Originally, the bushy perennial comes from the sunny and dry steppe and grasslands of North and South America. Here are about 25 to 30 species. The robust hybrids available to us require little care, are usually hardy and bloom tirelessly from June to October. It is important that they have a sunny location. The soil is moderately moist to keep, waterlogging tolerate the plants not. According to recent findings, the cockade flower is even of medical importance: In the US, the drug Gaillardin was discovered as a tumor killer.
