    Description

    Blanket flower (Gaillardia x Grandiflora) is a great choice for a perennial with a long season of bloom. Seed Packet contains 35 seeds.

    Blanket flowers are wonderfully cheerful, long-blooming plants for hot, sunny gardens. They produce single or double daisy flowers through most of the summer and well into fall.

    The daisy-like flowers are produced from early summer to early fall in shades of orange, red and yellow, adding sizzle to the garden and attracting nectar-seeking butterflies.
