Globe Gilia

Globe gilia is an annual wildflower native to western North America, thriving in open, well-drained habitats such as grasslands, coastal bluffs, and disturbed soils. It produces slender stems topped with rounded clusters of small, sky-blue to violet flowers that bloom from late spring into summer. The spherical flower heads are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making this species a strong contributor to early-season nectar availability. Adaptable and drought-tolerant once established, Gilia capitata is frequently used in native seed mixes aimed at supporting pollinator diversity and restoring degraded sites.
