Description

It is an annual herb. [2] It grows up to 20 centimeters tall, its branching stem coated in cobwebby fibers and speckled with knob-tipped glandular hairs. The leaves gathered about the base of the stem are divided into deep, pointed lobes. The glandular inflorescence produces tubular flowers with ribbed sepals and yellow-throated lavender corollas. Flowers bloom May to June. [2]

This is sometimes treated as a subspecies of Gilia leptantha .
