Gilia tricolor
Bird's Eyes Gilia, a delightful native wildflower from California, brings early summer to life alongside California poppies in well-drained, dry soils. This flower features long lasting stems adorned with chocolate scented blue & purple blooms in differs shades that showcase dark centers. Its powder blue pollen attracts numerous native bees, making it a great choice for pollinator gardens. Ideal for edging, container displays, and bedding, Bird's Eyes Gilia thrives when planted in masses. The flowers bloom from spring to mid-summer, opening in sunlight and closing on overcast days, while the plant self-sows for continued beauty in your garden.
