Description

Bird’s Eye Gilia is a wildflower species native to the western United States and prefers full sun and dry soils but is very adaptable.  A low-growing annual has clusters of beautiful tube-shaped flowers on taller stalks that are lavender at the tips, fading to golden towards the throat and deep violet in center.  Hummingbirds love this fragrant summer bloomer. A great flower for cut arrangements and for dried arrangements.
