California Phacelia

California Phacelia is a vibrant native wildflower, prized for its delicate, bell-shaped blooms in shades of blue and purple. This hardy annual thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it an excellent choice for drought-tolerant gardens and pollinator landscapes. Phacelia attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects while requiring minimal water once established. Perfect for naturalizing in meadows, borders, or native plant gardens, it blooms prolifically from spring through early summer. Direct sow seeds in fall or early spring for best results.
