Lacy phacelia

Lacy Phacelia is an annual California native wildflower with bright blue fuzzy flowers on 2′ stalks. It is valued for as major pollinator plant. It’s long, coiling inflorescences of nectar-rich flowers which open in sequence, giving a long flowering period; leaving plenty of time to provide flowers and nectar during spring-summer. It is a valuable addition to any wildflower garden.  It can reappear each year by self-seeding. The lacy phacelia flower grows best in sunny spots where soil is poor, rocky or sandy (providing good drainage).  If you don’t have these growing conditions plant it in a container where it will do just fine. The genus Phacelia is listed as one of the top 20 honey-producing flowers for honeybees and is also highly attractive to bumblebees and syrphid (hover) flies that will eat aphids.
