The Double Blanket Flower is the fancy, ruffled cousin of the traditional Gaillardia. Instead of a single row of petals, this variety produces lush, pom-pom-like double blooms that look like miniature dahlias. These flowers feature incredible "sunset" tones—deep reds, oranges, and bicolors—that appear in a thick, velvety texture. Perfect for gardeners who want the extreme toughness of a Blanket Flower but with the high-end look of a decorative florist bloom, these seeds are a powerhouse of color and resilience.

WHAT YOU GET

• Premium Seeds: 100+ High-quality Double Gaillardia seeds.

• Variety: Yellow-Tipped colour.

• Type: Open-pollinated, hardy perennial/annual mix.

KEY FEATURES

• Pom-Pom Blooms: Stunning double-petaled flowers that add unique volume and texture 🌺

• Extreme Hardiness: Famous for thriving in hot, dry, and windy conditions where other flowers wilt ☀️

• Long Season: Stays in bloom for a long duration, often lasting from summer well into the winter months 🗓️

PLANTING & CARE

• Sowing Time: Best sown in early spring (February–March) or late monsoon (September–October) for the best bloom cycle.

• Sowing Method: Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and press down gently. Cover with a very thin dusting of soil (1/8 inch) as they need light to sprout.

• Sunlight: Needs full sun (6–8 hours). The more sun they get, the "doubler" and brighter the flowers will be.

• Watering: Water regularly during the first few weeks. Once established, they are very drought-tolerant; water only when the soil is dry.

• Soil: Thrives in poor to average, well-draining soil. Avoid highly fertile soil as it can make the stems "floppy."

BENEFITS & USES

• Cottage Garden Aesthetic: Adds a rustic, full-bodied look to garden beds and wildflower patches 🏘️

• Exceptional Cut Flower: The sturdy stems and thick petals make them excellent for indoor vases 💐

• Butterfly Magnet: Highly attractive to pollinators, bringing your garden to life with bees and butterflies 🦋

• Ground Cover: Its spreading habit helps "blanket" the soil, suppressing weeds and keeping the garden tidy 🪴

DISCLAIMER

While Gaillardia is very hardy, double-flowered varieties may occasionally produce single blooms if the soil is overly stressed or lacks basic nutrients. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
