Gaillardia Blanket Flower Seeds - Gaillardia aristata

Non-GMO, Open-Pollinated Gaillardia Blanket Flower Seeds This beautiful native, perennial wildflower takes its name for the brilliant array of red, yellow and orange hues and tendency to create what may look like an Indian Blanket.   The genus name "Gaillardia" honors an 18th century French botanist named Gaillard de Charentonneau.
