Phacelia tanacetifolia.

 

Lacy Phacelia Plant is an annual wildflower native to the deserts of California and Arizona.


Plant grows to around 1 to 3 feet in height with ferny, divided leaves that resemble delicate lace.


The showy, bell-shaped flowers, which erupt in a mesmerizing array of lavender-blue hues, bloom from midsummer to early fall and are irresistible to honeybees, bumblebees, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators.


In addition to being one of the top 20 honey-producing flowers, Lacy Phacelia can also be used as a cover crop to suppress weeds, replenish soil nutrients, and improve soil structure.
