We grew this pretty annual years ago from commercial seed, but it faded from my garden repertoire. What a surprise when one plant showed up as in interloper seedling from a batch of traded seed for Gilia tricolor! If I manage to collect seed, I think I'll re-establish it as a regular inhabitant of our Lush Gardens.
