Phacelia tanacetifolia – Lacy Phacelia
A California native annual beloved by beekeepers, farmers, and native plant gardeners alike, Phacelia tanacetifolia is one of the most effective pollinator plants you can grow. Its long, coiling clusters of lavender-blue, bell-shaped flowers are absolutely packed with nectar, drawing bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects in droves from spring through summer. Thriving in hot, dry conditions and tolerating poor, rocky, or sandy soils, it's as tough as it is beautiful. Used similarly to buckwheat as a winter cover crop, it's a favorite of vineyards and crop fields for its ability to attract beneficial insects and build soil. A natural fit for meadow plantings, pollinator gardens, and low-water landscapes.
