Woodland phacelia

Woodland phacelia otherwise named Caterpillar flower is a colorful perennial that grows in small mounds about 1.5′ tall and 2′ wide. It is short-lived but often reseeds.

It blooms later than most others, and is commonly in flower during the hottest summer months. It will provide you with a splash of dime sized lavender flower and if you give it a bit of water it will persist until winter.

It will do best with some shade but can do well in full sun with a bit of water.

Please use caution when planting etc. as this plant can cause dermatitis to those sensitive to it.
