Birds Eyes
Gilia Tricolor is great for attracting hummingbirds to your garden. This wildflower is native to California but can grow virtually anywhere in a sunny location. Commonly, it is called birds eye, and it is often visited by polinators and hummingbirds. The blooms are trumpet shaped, violet and white with a yellow throat. They are said to have a sweet scent similar to the scent of chocolate. Birds Eyes flower abundantly and produce tons of lovely blooms that are great for cutting and drying. The plants form a bushy fern like upright stem. It is a good plant to use for self seeding year after year. This will be the first year that I plant this in my garden and I found the seeds at Vermont Wildflower Farm on line.
