LACY PHACELIA is a drought-tolerant cover crop that blooms in the summer months. The light-purple blooms are unique and elegant, attracting beneficial pollinators to the property. This annual grows to be about 24-36” tall and prefers as much sun as possible. This annual wildflower grows well in hot, harsh desert conditions, but it adapts easily to other environments. The Lacy Phacelia flower spike is light blue-violet and has bees busy all day long, and the foliage is fern-like and lacy in appearance. Give it a sunny location in the garden and water from the roots occasionally.
