Field notes: White Fairy Trumpet is related to Pink
Gilia, but not nearly as common. If you discover a patch
of Pink Gilia... White Fairy Trumpet should be nearby. Look for it
growing in dry sunny areas along roadways, fields and meadows, and
clearings in forests.
White Fairy Trumpet is very drought tolerant
making it an excellent choice for the xeriscape or wildflower
garden.
