Ipomopsis aggregata

Out of stock for 2026.

The bright red and occasionally pink colored flowers of Scarlet Gilia have a trumpet-like appearance along branching stems. Scarlet Gilia is great for attracting hummingbirds. Grows 1-3 feet tall, depending on conditions. This native wildflower prefers well-drained soils but also grows well in clay. It is a biennial, but will reseed (but not aggressively) and pop up in new spots around the garden.
