    A native flower with lavender-blue globe-shaped flower heads that bloom late spring and summer. Ferny foliage is handsome as well, and it tolerates heat better than others of its species. Once called Headed Gilia and highly recommended in the 19th century; “scarcely anything can be prettier than this plant when thickly filling a bed.”
