Shade phacelia
Shade phacelia is an herbaceous annual to perennial that grows to 1.5′ tall. It prefers moist slopes, stream banks, and mixed evergreen or coniferous forests.
While it can be found in full sun it is also tolerant of partial shade (hence the name)
The plant has subdued green divided leaves, dense clusters of greenish-yellow flowers, with stamens protruding beyond the petals giving the flower clusters a burr-like appearance. Good for dry shaded areas in pollinator gardens as is it a favorite of bumblebees.
