Outsidepride Annual Lacy Phacelia Plant Seed for Full Sun - 1/4 LB

Phacelia tanacetifolia is known as Lacy Phacelia. It is a fast-growing annual wild flower that is excellent for attracting bees and other beneficial insects to the garden. It adapts to different environments and can handle harsh desert conditions. It has light violet-blue flower spikes that will keep the bees busy all day long. Water at the roots as overhead watering can make the flowers flop. Start the seed directly outdoors in early spring when there is still a chance of frost. In a prepared seedbed, press the seed into the soil and cover with 1/8 inch soil. Keep the seed moist until germination. With a temperature range of 55 – 65F, germination is usually within 12 days. Space the plants 12 inches apart. Grow in full sun and in well-drained soil. Lacy Phacelia is known to reseed. If reseeding and spreading is not desired, deadhead spent blooms.
