Globe Gilia brings delicate blue flowers to sunny, water-wise gardens. This packet contains 2,000 non-GMO, heirloom, open-pollinated seeds. This annual wildflower is native to western North America, from British Columbia to central California and east to Idaho. Grow a patch beside a sunny path and enjoy watching bees visit the blue blooms.

Globe Gilia prefers full to part sun and dry to moderate moisture conditions. Its drought tolerance makes it a useful choice for well-drained, water-wise plantings once established, while its flowers attract honey bees, wild bees, and other beneficial insects.

Germination Rate: 95%. Test Date: 3/26. AWSC.

Texas Minimum Germination Rate: None

Why Choose Globe Gilia?

• Delicate blue flowers: Add a cool accent to informal beds, borders, and meadow-style displays.

Planting Tips for Success

• Plan your timing: Follow packet instructions and local planting guidance. Select sowing dates for your climate rather than relying on one calendar date for every region.
• Choose the site: Plant in full to part sun with well-drained soil. Avoid areas that stay waterlogged.
• Prepare the seedbed: Clear weeds and loosen the soil surface. Follow packet directions for sowing depth and spacing.
• Water during establishment: Keep the seedbed gently and evenly moist during germination without washing seeds away. Drought tolerance does not mean young seedlings need no water.
• Adjust moisture: Once plants establish, adapt watering to rainfall, heat, and soil conditions, allowing for this flower's preference for dry to moderate moisture.
• Allow airflow: Thin crowded seedlings according to packet guidance and remove competing weeds carefully.
• Fertilize conservatively: Use soil-test guidance before adding fertilizer. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage foliage at the expense of flowers.
• Support as needed: Choose a sheltered position or provide discreet support if stems lean in exposed conditions.
• Encourage flower visitors: Avoid spraying open flowers while bees are actively visiting.
