Rock Phacelia

Phacelia californica

California Phacelia boasts lush, green foliage and densely packed inflorescences of bell-shaped, lavender to violet flowers. Blooming in early to mid-spring, its vibrant flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, playing a crucial role in local ecosystems. Typically growing to about 1 to 2 feet in height, this plant prefers well-drained, sandy or rocky soil and full sun exposure. It's particularly well-suited for areas with dry conditions, such as rock gardens, slopes, and coastal settings, where it can add color and life without requiring extensive maintenance.
