Great Design Plant: Gilia Capitata (8 photos)

How to use it. Spread seeds in the fall for an early spring bloom, or wait until spring to sow (and water) for a glorious summer show.

Globe gilia looks gorgeous with other spring- and summer-blooming annuals with similar growing needs, such as California poppy (Eschscholzia californica), tidy tips (Layia platyglossa) and clarkia (Clarkia spp), like these ruby chalice clarkia (Clarkia rubicunda).


It makes a great cut flower and works well in containers.
