100 Seeds Globe Gilia Gilia capitata Wildflower

Globe Gilia is a hardy annual wildflower known for its dense, spherical clusters of small light blue to lavender flowers that sit atop slender stems. Blooming from late spring into summer, it brings a soft, airy texture to meadows, borders, and pollinator-friendly plantings.

Use Globe Gilia in wildflower mixes, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas. Its globe-shaped flower heads rise above finely divided green foliage, and the plants perform well in sunny, open sites with well-drained soil. The blooms work well in fresh arrangements and also dry nicely for decorative use.
