Fiery Double Blanket Flowers in Rich Warm Tones

Gaillardia Pulchella 'Kings Double Mix' (Gaillardia pulchella) is a stunning heirloom annual that produces fully double, layered blooms in vivid shades of red, orange, yellow, and burgundy.

Growing in Pakistan

Gaillardia is a warm-season flower that thrives in Pakistani heat. For Punjab, Sindh, and most plain regions, sow from February–July for continuous blooming through spring, summer, and early autumn. In cooler northern hill areas (Murree, Swat, Hunza), sow March–July. Provide full sun and well-drained soil — gaillardia actually prefers lean, sandy soils and flowers better when not over-fertilised or over-watered. Deadhead spent flowers to extend the bloom season; let some self-seed for next year.
