Gilia capitata
“Blue Thimble Flower”

Gilia capitata “Blue Thimble Flower”

Easy as pie and you’ll get loads of bloom over a period of months! A robust native to much of California, “Blue Thimble Flower” forms a bushy multi-branching annual to 15” tall by 12” across with dense, ferny, almost lacy, rich green foliage. Throughout Spring & well into Summer, it bears scented, laven­der blue flowers held in spherical clusters & loved by butterflies, bees &more! Lovely with natives Layia platyglossa “Tidy Tips” or Clarkia concinna “Pink Ribbons”. Full sun provides best display. Self-sows.
