'Globe Gilia' bluehead gilia (Gilia capitata 'Globe Gilia') is an annual for borders, cottage gardens, meadows, and pollinator gardens. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows at a rapid pace and handles dry spells well. Round heads of flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Purple top, Blue sage, and Creeping thyme.
