Lacy Phacelia (Phacelia Tanacetifolia) - If you want to bring bees and other beneficial insects to your garden, grow Lacy Phacelia from wildflower seeds. This annual wildflower grows well in hot, harsh desert conditions, but it adapts easily to other environments. It has light blue-violet flower spikes that have bees busy all day long. Give it a sunny location in the garden and water from the roots occasionally. Sprinklers can make the stems flop.
Sow Lacy Phacelia wild flower seeds in the early spring when there is still a chance of frost. Press the wild flower seeds into the soil, cover 1/8, and keep seeds moist continuously. Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart. Lacy Phacelia will drop its own wild flower seeds. If seedlings and spreading is not desired, deadhead spent blooms.
