Gaillardia, Double Sunset

Antique, extra showy variety dating back to at least 1886. An extraterrestrial take on our favorite pollinator-friendly prairie flower. Blooms have quilled single and double petals in fabulous mixed colors. This heat-tolerant, long-season blooming native North American wildflower is equally at home in the border or freely sown as a wild flower. Makes an exemplary cut flower!
