double-flowered

Densely petaled bloom

Double-flowered describes flowers with extra petals, typically produced when stamens or other flower parts develop as petals instead.

The result is a fuller, more ornamental bloom: double-flowered roses, double-flowered camellias.

Double-flowered varieties are prized in gardens but often produce less nectar and may be sterile.
