Gilia flowers
Gilia is an annual with a long blooming period. Starting in spring, each plant produces hundreds of half-inch white flowers with blue or lavender edges. Though small, these flowers look very pretty when massed. They grow on upright stems, about 18 inches tall, surrounded by soft, lacy foliage.
This plant is very easy to grow. It takes full sun, low water, and tolerates many different types of soil, including clay. It can be planted from seeds and reseeds itself the next spring reliably, and is very attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
