Phacelia campanularia – Desert Bells / Desert Canterbury Bells
One of California's most dazzling native wildflowers, Phacelia campanularia is a fast-growing annual that puts on a spectacular spring show. Upward-facing, 1" bell-shaped blooms in a rich, deep gentian blue — accented by bright white anthers — rise on branchy red stems and light up front beds, borders, containers, and rock gardens. It's one of the rare wildflowers that translates beautifully into a cut flower, and it self-sows freely to return year after year. Drought tolerant, deer resistant, and California native — a must-have for the low-water garden or native plant palette.
