Given the name “Gaillardia ‘Punch Bowl'” and what we know about Gaillardia plants in general, the most likely native region or origin is:
* **North America, specifically the Great Plains and Southwestern United States.**
Here’s why:
* **Gaillardia** is a genus of flowering plants native to North America. They are particularly well-adapted to prairies, plains, and dry, sunny environments.
* **’Punch Bowl’** suggests a cultivar (cultivated variety) of Gaillardia. Cultivars are often bred for specific traits like color, size, or bloom time, but they typically retain the basic hardiness and environmental preferences of the parent species.
While cultivars can be grown in many places, the origin of the plant’s genetics points firmly to North America.
